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
Sengun, it is pretty stupid to blow a ball everytime you shoot
he is talking to the ball actually
Giannis and Russ
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.
Before my time, but my Dad always used to say that Don Nelson had the weirdest FT motion he’d ever seen.
Always grossed me out when guys licked their fingers before shooting the FT (Nash and Carmelo come to mind)
Shit is nasty
There’s somebody (maybe Ibaka?) who kisses the ball before they shoot and that’s slightly less gross but still weird
Imagine doing that during the bubble season
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.
Jeff Hornacek. How many times can you say hi to your kids?
Nick van Exel shooting his free throws a good few feet behind the line. Not annoying i guess, just dumb.
He shot like 80% though. And I think said it was a more comfortable distance for him
I used to hate Kidd’s so much
All of them?
Miloš Teodosić used to make me laugh. Can’t find video of his routine sadly. IIRC he does:
- 2 shrugs;
- touches side of his head, his shoulder and his hip;
- 2 shrugs again. Dude only played 60 games in NBA, but is still active in Europe, playing at the age of 36.
Yeah, I recall him. Plus his hair was always a mess
Mark Jackson, his thing was imaging the back of the rim so he raised his hand and held an O like the rim, imagined hitting the back of it to help make them
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.
Not a routine, but didn’t Rick Barry shoot his underhand?
Giannis hands down. It still seems like he takes 90 sec to warm up.
