Speaking of the Raptors, every couple weeks I ask the question, “When Will Jose Calderon Miss?” And despite everyone’s best guess and possible jinx accusations, the streak is still alive.

Through 31 games, Calderon has still yet to miss a free throw, going a perfect 72-for-72 from the charity stripe. Although he’s been out the past three games, when he returns, you know the streak is going to be on his mind as he quickly approaches Micheal Williams‘ record of 94.

Could foul play stop this Raptor?

By Mike Monroe

Raptors point guard Jose Calderon was in South Texas on Saturday night, which begs the question: Over in Houston, was Calvin Murphy sticking pins in the right arm of his Jose Calderon voodoo doll?

Calderon left the AT&T Center after playing the Spurs having made all 59 free throws he had attempted in the Raptors’ first 27 games. That’s on track to threaten the single-season free-throw accuracy record that Murphy holds so dear, and he is not above putting a hex on a player who threatens it.


Do you think Calderon can break Calvin Murphy's free-throw shooting record?
