What's the worst shooting form you've ever seen?

[Havlicekstealsit]

Doesn't have to be in the NBA. Noah? Cartwright? Marion? American U's Tony Wrobilcky? Regardless if it's effective or not. Gifs and Youtubes appreciated.

Marion. Garbage

[ripper76]

Manute Bol's form wasn't the best. He had some surprising results on occasion though.

I was gonna say Cartwright, but I forgot about Marion's 12 year-old girl style. Just ugly.
Reggie Miller's form was not textbook, but awfully effective.

[DorianRo]

Bol was actually a good scorer when he was in college. He could shoot the ball.

Forgot how far back he cocked it. Almost touches the back of his neck. At 7'7" nobody was blocking that.

I always appreciated Reggie Millers shot when his hands come together after the shot..I do the same thing at times...definitely not the worst, just odd...

[LNS]

Camby looked like he was launching a goddamn catapult whenever he'd shoot.

[fsuheater]

Marion and Noah have to take this one...

[swampgator]

Jamaal Wilkes immediately came to mind.

Manute Bol played for a DII school. Bridgeport. Being 7'6" against DII guys, he averaged 22 ppg on 61% shooting. I'm taking an "educated" guess that very few attempts were beyond 5 feet from the hoop.

He shot 59% from the line.

Laker Joseph. Probably

Agreed. Look at all those giants on the floor with him.

To be fair, that poor lil' guy lives in a 3rd world country and he's a 5'2" teenager with a gut. I'm sure there are others who play basketball that have worse form.

Maybe.

Maybe there is. But I doubt they're making YouTube videos claiming they're a good shooter.

Rick Barry.

If he played today's era, people would complain that the league is watered down with no fundamentals.

Another surprising scorer in college was rodman, he averaged 27 ppg on 64%

Another NBA athlete competing against inferior competition. SE Oklahoma was an NAIA school. And Rodman was 22 - 24 years old in college.

But, Rodman wasn't always an offensive gimmick in the NBA. In his 2nd year, he averaged 12 ppg in only 26 minutes for the Pistons.
