When Free Throws Turned Into Absolute Comedy on the Court

**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_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_1** (0:19)
Why?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:21)
Look at Steph. Look at Steph.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:23)
Look at Steph.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:24)
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. Oh, he did. Oh, no.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:39)
It has to hit the rim.

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

**SPEAKER_5** (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** (0:51)
22.5 points per game.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:57)
Look at that. The ball.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:00)
I've never seen that.

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

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

**SPEAKER_6** (1:11)
What happened right there?

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

**SPEAKER_1** (1:15)
The same goes for the commentators. This is Stephanie's young boy, you know, playing with a pad. Watch out.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:21)
I didn't even look at it.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:22)
There was shrapnel coming off of that free throw.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:25)
That was nasty. Sheesh, that free throw is more disgusting than feet picks. Although, is it more disgusting than this?

**SPEAKER_8** (1:32)
Trouble, Rizzo. What's his job?

**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_8** (1:48)
Zeller stumbles.

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

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

**SPEAKER_2** (2:20)
Bill, you ever tried that? Oh, yeah. It doesn't work for you the way it works for him.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:23)
Yeah, look at what's hanging in front of him.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:25)
I'm 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_5** (2:38)
Love fest that is broken out here at Staples. I could hear that at the tennis field.

**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 got that guy dancing for you, shaking it. That's not Mr. Charles.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:00)
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_2** (3:11)
I mean, 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_5** (3:25)
Favorite one. That's one of those lane violation shots right there.

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

**SPEAKER_2** (3:31)
Uh-oh.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:31)
Oh, my God. 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_6** (3:39)
Whoa.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:42)
I don't know if I've ever seen this.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:43)
Whoa!

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

**SPEAKER_8** (3:47)
That would have been his fourth miss.

**SPEAKER_6** (4:05)
That's not good. If he mentions it, it's free throw.

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

**SPEAKER_7** (4:14)
56.5% for the season, and he'll get one more. And with that, Ben Simmons, a career high, 32 points to boot.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:28)
Well, I'll be damned. This is even more motivational than Curry. Speaking of which, he's not the only one making free throws. But just because you make a free throw, that don't mean it's a good thing.
