For me it’s Giannis without a doubt. Also he prepares to shoot longer than 10 seconds and that’s illegal. Funny thing, I still remember how Rip Hamilton used to shoot free throws - that dribble at the end with one hand was funny as hell.

    SGA. He does a a quick shooting motion thing but it looks like a half assed version of what Giannis does at 25x the speed.

    Next is Jaylen Brown, who does a similar thing to KD, with the bend down and slow raise up to shoot. The weird thing is that if Jaylen is even a fraction of a second off hood regular timing, or his motion is more staggered up than usual, it’s a 90% chance it gets brick. It’s almost clear as day when he’s about to miss because his form wasn’t as consistent

    With Giannis it’s annoying but since they refuse to consistently call it, can’t really blame him. He’s got bad (relative to how he plays) cardio and that FT routine is his time to rest. Empiid should do the same honestly since he gets to the line all the time and is always gassed.

    Always grossed me out when guys licked their fingers before shooting the FT (Nash and Carmelo come to mind)

    Shit is nasty

    My biggest pet peeve is when the shooter petulantly passes the ball back to the ref because they didn’t like the way it came to them.

      Giannis is terrible with this.

      I’m a Bucks fan and I HATE his routine. But I hate it mostly because of the fact he thinks too much which I think gets him in his head.

      Don’t get me wrong, I hate how long it takes too.

    Nick van Exel shooting his free throws a good few feet behind the line. Not annoying i guess, just dumb.

    Miloš Teodosić used to make me laugh. Can’t find video of his routine sadly. IIRC he does:

    1. 2 shrugs;
    2. touches side of his head, his shoulder and his hip;
    3. 2 shrugs again. Dude only played 60 games in NBA, but is still active in Europe, playing at the age of 36.

    Ever seen Karl Malone shoot FTs?

    Dude was praying almost a whole verse from the bible before letting it fly.

    Still not as bad as Giannis last year.
