5 Ugliest free throw forms in NBA history

#2 Chuck Hayes

“Ref, that’s a travel,” Allen Iverson said after witnessing Chuck Hayes’ free throws one cold night in Denver back in 2011. During the game, Hayes as part of the Houston Rockets was awarded two free throws after a flagrant foul was called on the Nuggets.

With every fan in the arena and more around the world watching, Hayes was alone on the free throw line as he shot two of the worst free throws in NBA history. The hitch on his shot was so funny that the announcers made fun of him. You can also see that the Nuggets bench and players on the court were laughing at his horrible shot.

Retiring in 2015, Hayes came full circle a year later when he was hired as a staff assistant and player development coach by the Nuggets. Hopefully, he is not teaching players on how to properly shoot a free throw.
