5 Ugliest free throw forms in NBA history

#4 Markelle Fultz

Markelle Fultz had difficulty finding his shot and jumper during his rookie season. He refined his shooting form in the offseason but he actually got worse. The former first overall pick made headlines with a couple weird-looking free throw routines. You can see those two shots in the video above.

The first shot was the most famous one wherein he shuffled that ball first before taking a shot. It was ridiculed on the internet but it was also used a touchdown celebration in the NFL by the Seattle Seahawks, which Fultz acknowledged. The second was the hitch during his shot that was reminiscent of Chuck Hayes’ disastrous shot, which is part of this list.

After almost two years of trying to find out what’s wrong with his shot, Fultz was finally diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, which is a disorder that affects the nerves between the neck and shoulder. Fultz will undergo physical therapy and hopefully, he regains his shot during his college career.
