The Most Famous "Unorthodox" Free Throws in Basketball History

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
These are NBA free throws you must see to believe, because at first, a player shoots his free throws granny style.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:07)
Here's the moment we've all been waiting for.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:10)
Easy money right there.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:12)
But it's only going to get crazier from here.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:14)
Steph Curry has hit the line. He has not missed this here.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:19)
Why, why?

**SPEAKER_4** (0:21)
Look at Steph, look at Steph, look at Steph. That's right, he knows exactly what we're talking about.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:28)
Spoiler alert, the announcer's curse is real. But up next, it's not a curse, it's pure pandemonium.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:34)
Watch him beat on the left block.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:37)
Oh, he doesn't.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:38)
Oh, he did.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:39)
Oh no. It has to hit the rim.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:40)
It did not hit the rim.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:43)
It has been determined that the free throw did make contact with the rim.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:49)
But if that makes your head scratch, check this out.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:52)
22 and a half points per game.
Oh my, look at that. The ball. I've never seen that.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:01)
Amon Schumpert's laugh says it all. John Wall got got. And yet, Carbello Anthony once fooled everyone.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:07)
Pretend.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:11)
What happened right there?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:13)
I think that's going to be a violation on Carbello.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:15)
The same goes for the commentators. I saw Stephanie as a young boy, you know, playing with her dad.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:20)
Watch out.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:20)
You know, I didn't even look at it.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:22)
There was shrapnel coming off of that free throw. That was nasty.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:26)
You know what that reminded me of?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:27)
Sheesh. That free throw is more disgusting than feet picks. Although is it more disgusting than this?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:33)
What's his job?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:35)
What?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:37)
I don't even know what to say.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:38)
Not going to lie. I expected that from Ben Simmons. Not the king. But now, it's time to transition to the easiest basket ever.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:48)
Zeller stumbles.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:50)
Giannis will be called kid before he had to come down.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:53)
I thought Mike Butenholzer wants a timeout with 7.46 to play.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:02)
Cody Zeller at the line.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:07)
Sheesh, Cody Zeller not only looks like a dad, he thinks like one too. Meanwhile, this next clip makes me feel like I'm watching the Impractical Jokers.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:20)
Bill, you ever tried that?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:21)
Oh, yeah. It doesn't work for you the way it works for him. Look at what's hanging in front of him.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:25)
Looking at him at all times.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:26)
Just like Carmelo, you may know the next possession that he's going right and stopping him is another thing altogether.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:32)
Nothing says fun like untying another man's shoes. Well, actually I lie. Have you seen Shaq shoe free throws?

**SPEAKER_2** (2:38)
Lovefest that is broken out here at Staples.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:44)
Not gonna lie, if Kevin and Shaq had a free throw competition, I got my money on Kevin. Oh, but you thought I was talking about Kevin Hart? Sorry, I meant Kevin Garnett. Because there's only one man on the planet that can make a free throw with this distraction.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:56)
You're at home, you got that guy dancing for you, shaking it.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:59)
That's not Mr. Charles, I saw his body last night. Now, that's what you call unfazed. On the other hand, Lebron isn't unfazed, he's unhinged. With the game in the bag, Lebron tried to pull a page out of Jordan's books.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:11)
Check out how many miles it is.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:15)
However, now it's time to take a trip down memory lane, because 15 years ago, fans witnessed two of the world's ugliest free throws. Kids, close your eyes. Viewer discretion is advised.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:25)
Play for one.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:25)
That's why you see this.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:26)
That's one of those lame violation shots right there.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:29)
Chuck Hayes was the...

**SPEAKER_6** (3:31)
Uh-oh, oh my goodness. That's one of those you don't even want to watch.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:34)
But would you rather shoot like Chuck Hayes or get blocked by the referee?

**SPEAKER_2** (3:39)
Whoa! I don't know if I've ever seen this. Whoa!

**SPEAKER_1** (3:44)
Although, I much rather get blocked than lose my dignity.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:47)
That would have been his 4th miss.
The official, John Goble. Through the balls, and as for his ready, that could have been dangerous.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:07)
All of a sudden, making free throws seems irrelevant when you're in self-preservation mode. On a less serious note, you won't believe what Ben Simmons once did.
