Brand Moves Free Throw Stance LeftSixers' forward Elton Brand has altered his approach at the free throw line recently. Instead of standing in the middle of the foul line, like most players do, Brand stands about one foot to the left of center. Brand admitted that he started the practice roughly 18 months ago. "It's from a lot of repetition," Brand said. "I'm right-handed, but I aim with my left eye. (Where I stand) looks more in the middle to me because I'm aiming with that eye. It's like a bow and arrow from an archer."

"A lot is on me," said Brand. "We started off pretty bad, and it was all on me. Other guys got deals and stuff. But I don't look at it that way. I look at it as it's all on me. "I might not have the biggest contract. But I just felt that's what my job was, to come to this team and stabilize it and definitely make it a high-level contender." Philadelphia was 7-6 after Sunday's action, with Brand averaging 16.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game.
