Who’ll Be Next To Join This Amazing Compilation Of The Worst Free Throw Attempts In History

This is the tough thing about basketball — unlike baseball, football and even soccer, a player knows the moment the ball leaves his or her hands that a shot is going to be awful.

Hit a ball poorly in baseball and it could still end up being a hit. Throw a pass in football and there could be a miracle catch. Soccer balls get deflected into the net all of the time. Toss up an air ball and the second it passes the fingertips it’s like “ugh, fuck, that’s going to bring rain.”

Here are some shots that probably felt awful the second they were launched.
