NBA: 10 strangest free throw routines of all time
Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz unveiled another unexplainable free throw shooting form during Friday’s game against the Utah Jazz. While his new routine is certainly bizarre, we can’t help but wonder where it falls on the list of strangest free throw shots in NBA history.
Free throws are typically the most routine part of a basketball game. One player casually puts up an uncontested 15-foot shot, while the other nine guys stand around and watch.
The typically crowd doesn’t pay them any attention, except for the section of fans sitting behind the basket with those pesky thundersticks. Occasionally, there’s a shooting motion like that of Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz that catches your attention.
Everyone has their own routine, but some are so absurd and attention grabbing that you can’t help but to take notice. There are NBA players who have been so unique at the free throw line that Shaquille O’Neal’s one-handed toss doesn’t even make this list (spoiler alert).
Here are 10 players with the strangest free throw shooting forms of all time.
