Rick Barry offers to help Mitchell Robinson with underhand fix to his Knicks free throw woes

The Godfather of “granny” free throws has a proposal for Mitchell Robinson: Let me fix your problem.

Rick Barry, the NBA Hall of Famer, watched Robinson’s mishaps Saturday with both frustration and confidence that he can make the Knicks center a 75 percent foul shooter by going underhand.

“It’s crazy. It’s so sad that guys are so bad and not proficient at the easiest part of the game — the only part of the game where nobody is trying to stop you from what you’re supposed to be doing,” Barry said in an interview with The Post. “It makes no freaking sense. … Free throws are a critical part of the game. It’s sad. He’s definitely a candidate to me [to shoot underhanded]. He’s got to make a switch. You can’t be shooting 30, 40 percent.”

Robinson is actually shooting 29 percent in the playoffs and has been schemed off the floor by Boston’s “Hack-a-Mitch” strategy. In Saturday’s Game 3, Robinson converted four of his game-high 12 free-throw attempts and logged just 19 minutes despite otherwise being a positive rebounding presence for the Knicks.
