"Dwight Howard has tried everything to become a better free-throw shooter, but he's going backward this season.

Howard, who began the season as a career 59 percenter at the line, is currently at a frosty 42.6 percent. He was 3-of-12 in the Magic's win at Portland on Wednesday night.

Howard hired a new shooting coach this summer and put in time at the line, mostly at Rollins College.

Now he's working with the Michelangelo of free-throw shooters.

The Magic employ the NBA's greatest free-throw shooter of all time — Mark Price."
