Sixers' 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."
