I call bullshit
You do know the world record for free throws is over 5000 (I think). I read some book about free throws when I was a teenager by the current world record holder (which was something like 2000~ in a row) and it got me interested in it.
If you trained for a month I think anyone could easily get 100 in a row, and once you start hitting that much in a row it's just about concentration and focus. I trained for basketball everyday (delusions of playing in the NBA as a kid) and at the end of training would shoot upwards of 700 freethrows. After 2 years or so of this I could get over 500 in a row on a lot of occassions. I can't exactly remember the highest amount, 522 rings a bell. I had a stand which could hold 10 basketballs and it still took like 70-90 minutes to shoot them.
Until you've been a deluded competitive kid who thinks they can make it all the way to the upper echelon of whatever they want you won't understand the passion. Takes a certain kind of mental strength and focus I think, it is what separates the Judds from the Tamblings. My own dream came to an end when I realized I was only going to be 6 feet tall, and my hands were too small to comfortably palm the ball which makes it hard to do certain movements as a guard and even to dunk the ball one handed. But hey, I'm now realizing my other dream, going on message boards and lying about myself to others.
