NBA: 10 Worst Free-Throw Shooters EVER

#7 Shaquille O'Neal

Shaquille O'Neal

Career: 5935-11252 (52.7%)

So get this, Shaquille O'Neal, one of the best centers ever, has 28,596 points by only making 52.7% of his free throw attempts (11,252). Imagine, if he had knocked down more, surely his career points total would have crossed the 30k peak and then some.

O'Neal's dominance was such that after his first few seasons in the league, teams would intentionally foul him to make him shoot free-throws instead of allowing the Lakers to run a play for him. Few rare times, O'Neal would add insult to injury by making all of his free-throws but he couldn't do that too often.

Making at least one of his two free throws would have been respectable but O'Neal had multiple seasons (7 of 19) where he shot below 50% from the charity stripe.
