5 weirdest shooting forms by active NBA players

#4 Lonzo Ball

Lonzo Ball of the Los Angeles Lakers

The most fascinating shooting form in the NBA starts with a gather from the left hip and travels up to the left side of the forehead with the right arm stretched across the torso at some angle then the ball is slung toward the rim. Ball took that unorthodox shooting form and made it a major success with clutch shot after clutch shot through high school and college.

Unlike other players, he shoots the ball with an unprecedented accuracy. His form might have given NBA scouts something to mull over before deciding to draft him, but again, the effectiveness ultimately outweighed whether it looks pretty or not. Teams need results and for him as well, aesthetics don’t really matter when the ball goes in with such accuracy. Ball’s best weapon is devastatingly effective; however, it remains to be seen whether it can be neutralized by smarter, experienced defenders.
