A free throw is an unguarded shot attempt that is awarded after a foul occurs in a game of basketball. Free throws are worth one point, but there can be multiple free throws taken in a row. The defense is not allowed to impede the shot in any way but can rebound the ball if the shot is missed. More @Wikipedia
