Clippers’ DeAndre Jordan Misses Free Throw by a Foot and a Half (Video)
The term “wide ride” is normally a term used in football to indicate a field goal attempt went to the right of the uprights. It’s rare that we can use it when talking about basketball, let alone NBA basketball…let alone a free throw. And yet, here we are. Last night during the Los Angeles Derby [...]

This Might Be the Worst Free Throw of All Time (Video)
Last week we told you about the worst half-court shot ever attempted. But as bad as that was, the guy who attempted it at least had plenty of excuses to fall back on. After all, a lot can go wrong when you’re trying to hurl a basketball through as 18-inch hoop that is 47 feet [...]

Pistons’ Greg Monroe Sinks Free Throws with One Eye Closed (Video)
Apparently depth perception is overrated. Last night during the Pistons-Sixers game in Detroit, Pistons center Greg Monroe got poked in the right eye while taking the ball to the basket. This seemed to mess up his contact and, therefore, his vision. But he didn’t have time to fix it before he had to step to [...]

Warriors' Andris Biedrins Attempts The Worst Free Throw Ever (Videos)
How To Get A Girl Back If you ask basketball fans who the worst free throw shooter in the NBA is at the moment, many of them will probably tell you that it is Dwight Howard of the Los Angeles Lakers–he's currently converting on 50.6% of his free throws this season. But if you ask [...]

Blake Griffin Airs Out Two Free-Throws In A Row (Video)
When it comes to dunking, few in the NBA do it better than Blake Griffin. When it comes to free-throws, few do it worse. Griffin currently has the second-worst free-throw percentage among all qualified NBAers, with a terrible 55% conversion rate (only Dwight Howard is worse, at 48.7%). And his struggles from the line were [...]

Montana Fans Shake The Basket During Weber State Free Throw (Video)
Raising a piece of cardboard with a giant blown up portrait of your hideous face plastered on it is a legal way to distract a college baller as he sets up for his free throw attempts. Shaking the basket would be the not-so-legal way of distracting a college baller as he gets set to attempt [...]

15 Impressive Free Throw Distractions
Whether it’s college basketball or the NBA, the numbers are all pretty much the same: the average basketball team tends to make around 72% of its free throws, with good teams draining around 80% and terrible teams hitting around 65%.

Derrick Rose Had A Jackie Moon Moment Last Night (Video)
Derrick Rose recorded an impressive 32 points last night and was especially hot down the stretch while leading the Bulls to a 99-95 victory over the Hornets. However, the fans inside the United Center would have been much happier if Roses’ 32-point performance was a 33-point performance instead. With only 4.3 seconds remaining in the [...]

Bobcats’ DeSagana Diop Gives Us The Worst Free-Throw Attempt Ever (Video)
In 2001, DeSagana Diop was drafted by the Cleveland Cavalers with the 8th overall pick of the NBA Entry Draft. Standing 7-feet tall and weighing 280-pounds, it comes as little surprise to hear that the center out of Oak Hill Academy was drafted for his size, and not his precision shooting from the free-throw line.

Should Dwight Howard Take This Hot Coed Up On Her Challenge? (Video)
Dwight Howard has had plenty of opportunities to work on his free-throws this season, but that hasn’t helped him improve his shot from the line, as he is converting on only 45.8% of his attempts this season. One cute blonde from the University of Central Florida is now looking to cash in on Dwight’s deficiency [...]

This May Be The Craziest Free-Throw You Will Ever See (Video)
It typically takes something quite remarkable to turn a simple free-throw into a jaw-dropping highlight reel clip, but Idaho State’s Kamil Gawrzydek did just that during Tuesday night’s 71-48 loss to Utah State. However, I think it is safe to say that he had absolutely no intentions of executing what may very well be the [...]
