Firstly, making a lot of free throws in succession when you aren't in a game and someone is immediately throwing the ball back to you so you can try another one is not the same- or even very similar to making them in a game. Secondly, if you did have a designated free throw shooter who never missed, the result would be so dull that they shortly eliminate it or find another way of punishing someone for fouling. St Martin's shooting style seems to be to flick the ball at the basket in something akin to a two-hand chest pass, with his arms on either side of the ball. None of that 90 degree elbow, perpendicular to the ground stuff here.

For years Rick Barry had the highest career free throw percentage, although he's since been surpassed:

He Rick explains his under-handed style to Red Auerbach:

BY the way, Jamaal Wilkes was a .759 shooter. Not as good as Rick but still very good.
