Drag back to aim, release to shoot. Make as many as you can out of 20 free throws!
Basketball Free Throw is a free online basketball shooting game where you take 20 free throw attempts and try to sink as many as possible. Using a simple drag-to-shoot mechanic, you control the power and angle of each shot, aiming for the hoop from the free throw line. The game features four increasingly challenging phases, from standard shots to wind effects, a moving hoop, and a shot clock — testing your precision under pressure.
Click or tap and drag backward from the ball to set your shot's power and angle — a dotted arc preview shows where the ball will travel. Release to shoot. The game progresses through four phases of five shots each: standard free throws, shots with crosswind, a moving hoop, and the ultimate challenge combining wind, movement, and a 3-second shot clock. Your score is rated from Benchwarmer (0-5 makes) all the way up to Hall of Famer (19-20 makes).
In real basketball, you stand behind the free throw line, bend your knees, and release the ball with a high arc using your shooting hand. In this game, you drag back to set power and angle, then release to shoot — simulating the same mechanics of aim and arc control.
The NBA average free throw percentage is about 77%. In this game, making 11-15 out of 20 (55-75%) earns you a Starter rating, while 19-20 makes you a Hall of Famer.
