Jamaal Wilkes as a Hall of Famer, a four-time NBA champion, three-time All-Star, a Rookie of the Year, and one of the greatest players in the history of the Los Angeles Lakers. However, Wilkes also has one of the ugliest free throw forms in the NBA history.

In the video above, you can see Wilkes takes three dribbles before winding up his horrible form. It was effective though as he made the shot. He is also a 75.9 percent shooter from the free throw line during his career. Not bad for someone with that kind shot.

Wilkes started his career for the Golden State Warriors in 1974, winning his first championship in 1975, before signing with the Lakers in 1977 as a free agent. With Lakers, he won three more titles in 1980, 1982, and 1985. He retired in 1985 as a member of the Los Angeles Clippers and he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2012.
