Rick Barry
He is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame; The Barry's are a legendary basketball family
One of the most distinctive aspects of Barry's game was his underhand free throw technique, which, despite its unconventional appearance, proved to be highly effective. His career free throw percentage of .880 ranks first in ABA history, and his .900 percentage was the best in the NBA at the time of his retirement in 1980. Barry's precision from the free-throw line was a key component of his overall game, and his success with the underhand style has been a topic of discussion and admiration for decades. His contributions to the game were recognized in 1987 when he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
In addition to his individual accolades, Barry was named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996, a testament to his influence on the game. His legacy was further honored in October 2021 when he was named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, recognizing him as one of the league's all-time greats. Barry's impact on the sport extends beyond his playing career, as he has also been a mentor and inspiration to future generations of basketball players, including his own sons, Brent, Jon, Drew, and Scooter Barry, all of whom played professional basketball.
Barry's family has a rich basketball tradition, with his wife, Lynn Norenberg Barry, also making her mark on the sport. Lynn was a standout player at the College of William & Mary, where she became the first female athlete to have her jersey number (22) retired. Together, the Barry family has left an indelible mark on the sport of basketball, both on and off the court.
