Free throw is all you.
Kick is the snapper, holder, weather and you.

I can make a free throw. I can't make an extra point.

I'm fairly certain this is true amongst most people.

Free throw is from 15 feet away, throwing a spherical ball. An extra point is from 30 yards away, kicking an oddly shaped ball, with people actively attempting to stop you.

Free throw is much easier.

Extra point kick is almost automatic whereas a free throw is not in pro sports. However, I don't think I could make the extra point kick but I could make a free throw.

Probably equal tbh. I never practiced football much and I can kick a field goal pretty easily. If anything the FT takes much more training.

Sure. Someone not a professional in either sport is what I was thinking - but some athletic ability is assumed.

Not so much since they moved it back from the 2.

Extra point. League average for extra points is about league leading free throw %.

I think you're the odd man out here. Most people couldn't kick a field goal to save their life, myself included. On the other hand, everyone's played Horse, cause there are often courts at parks and playgrounds, so it's more a matter of cultural induction.

Yeah free throws not even close.

There is a reason why they are an award to compensate for a scoring change aggrieved by a rules violation.

Even the worst guys are like 50 percent.

Extra point kicking is a very specialized skill. They are only gimmies at the pro level -- not so much now they moved them back.

A lot of high schools go for two a lot because of unreliable kicking. But almost any high school basketball team is going to have free throw shooters in the 70 and 80 percents.

By people who only have the job of kicking the ball. Every player on a basketball team needs to shoot free throws, while being fatigued from the game. Kickers only come in to do their one job while always fully rested.

It would be more equal if each team had a designated free throw shooter for every time a free throw was attempted.

Anybody can lug a ball at the net and have a chance.

Learning to kick over people trying to run you over consistently against weather is much much harderm
