The Most Embarrassing Records of NBA Players In NBA History..

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
Despite current superstars accomplishing incredible things each year, some players have embarrassing records they like to forget. When one player only playing in three seconds of an NBA game their entire career, to another player missing 17 shots in a game without making a single one, this is just the beginning of records that no one likes to talk about. With Jameson Curry being a pretty unfamiliar name, the record he attained during his playing days is exactly why. Jameson Curry seemed like he had a lot going on for him early in his career. After three seasons of college ball, Jameson declared for the 2007 NBA draft. 51 picks later, he landed the spot with the Chicago Bulls, would promptly send him down to the D-League. By playing well in the D-League, the Bulls will wave him with no hard feelings, and they cut him a $100,000 check for the mistake. With his future in the NBA looking dim, Jameson looked on to international ball for some love. After a short search for employment, it seemed like the NBA was interested in him again. More specifically, the LA Clippers, offering him a 10-day contract during the 2010 season. Finally, Jameson would have the chance to prove himself on the court as the dominant high school player that he once was. Well, that may have happened if he'd gotten any play in time, but instead, he was subbed in during the game's final 3.9 seconds where he guarded Rajon Rondo. During those 3.9 seconds, Jameson never touched the ball once, and he has no stats in the NBA. Of the nine players in the NBA to have played one game in the league, no one comes close to Jameson's 3.9 seconds. Four days later, he was released from his contract, never to touch an NBA court again. Following that game's conclusion, Jameson said, It's the quickest four seconds ever. I wish it would have lasted longer. Being out there, I just feel like a regular person. I feel like a regular basketball player. I feel like I was home, like this is where I belong. Having no shame in his short stint with the NBA, Jameson cracked this joke about his time in the NBA, saying, You know, if you think about it, I'm probably the highest paid player per second in NBA history. Now, there's definitely no doubt that Ben Wallace was a one of a kind player. He was unbelievable while he was with the Detroit Pistons. And during his prime years, he was awarded Defensive Player of the Year for four seasons. He dominated the league on that end of the floor. But this is exactly why a certain record that he holds comes into play. He was one of the league's favorite rebounders and shot blockers. What he wasn't good at was scoring. From the field, he was historically insignificant on offense and averaged just five points per game. But more specifically, his free throw shooting was ridiculous. Ben Wallace shot only 42% from the line throughout his career, and it unfortunately became too common that he'd air ball free throws, not hitting anything. At times when he made multiple in a row, it was unbelievable because of how bad of a shooter he typically was. Some might even go as far as to say that this record is unbreakable, considering how many terrible free throw shooters the league has seen, but nobody was as inefficient as him. To the man's credit, he blocked more shots than he's made free throws, so an argument could be made that his ability to block shots have won his team more games than games that he lost due to his inability to sink it from the line. His defensive game is what won his team games, and he stood by that proudly, with Carl Malone being known as one of the most legendary power forwards in history and also one of the league's best to never secure a championship. His physical, gritty, and emotional play led him to securing a record that doesn't look like it will be touched anytime soon. Being nicknamed the mailman, Carl dominated during his time in the league, not backing down from anybody. Playing through a 20 year career in the NBA and allowing him to rack up 332 technical fouls on players having played through the 1980s and the 1990s. From trash talking to hard fouls, Malone got into it with many around the league. Some notable victims of Malone's patented elbows were Dennis Rodman, Michael Jordan, Steve Nash, and David Robinson. When Malone opted arguing with the refs, it didn't seem to help his case in almost any situation. One of his most notable fouls took place during the 1991-1992 season against the Detroit Pistons, where Malone elbowed Isaiah Thomas on the forehead so hard that he needed 40 stitches and missed the following two games for his injuries. At a height of 6'9 and weighing over 250 pounds, with arms the size of most people's thighs, not just one elbow you don't want to be taking to the head. The foul was so bad, it nearly started a fight between teams. And Detroit Pistons coach Chuck Daly got into it with the referee. Malone was surprisingly only fined $10,000 and suspended for a game for this elbow. But obviously, it was a different type of league during this era. And while Carl maintains the foul was unintentional, Isaiah Thomas never forgave the mailman, stating, I was the cheapest shot in my mind in the history of the game. He also called Malone the weakest link on the Jazz's NBA Finals team of 97 and 98 On an episode of NBA TV's Open Court, Malone responded, stating, Is it relevant for me to discuss what he said about me? I'm just going to say he. I'm not even going to say his first name because he's irrelevant to me. By me calling his name, it'll give him a little justification and existence. So I'm not getting, I'm not even discussing that fella. He's not even relevant to me. I'll let my play speak for itself. I'm not even going to stoop to those levels. Hopefully, he's enjoying his retirement life, or lack thereof, who knows? Happy Thanksgiving to the fella. With Charles Barkley being known as one of the best players in the history of the NBA who never won a ring as well, his historically bad three-point shooting he showcased throughout his career literally put him in a league of his own. Framed as the Shaquille O'Neal of three-point shooting, Charles Barkley leads the league in the worst three-point percentage in history, setting on top of a record 26.6%.
