Wait, Could This Now Be the ‘Worst Free Throw Ever’?

Feb. 19, 2013 3:01pm Becket Adams

It looks like we spoke out of turn when we said Appalachian State center Brian Okam had one of the ugliest free throws we’ve ever seen.

Because this one is definitely nastier:

So who is she?

“Best we can tell,” sports website Deadspin notes, “a Georgia College Bobcat shot a free throw approximately four feet high and four feet out, en route to a 70-60 loss to the Columbus State Lady Cougars in a Division II women’s matchup in the Peach Belt conference this past Saturday.”

After a little more digging, it appears the free-thrower is Georgia College freshman Shanteona Keys who, despite the ugly throw, is actually a talented basketball player.

Also, according to a few Deadspin commenters (take it with a large grain of salt), Miss Keys allegedly sneezed right at the moment of release.

Watch the video again and judge for yourself.

Brain fart! If you CAN shoot free throws (and, if you’re playing college hoops, you know how to shoot free throws), then it’s all on account of a sudden message from the brain at the moment you are about to shoot that went something like “DON’T SHOOT YET!!!” That’s all there is to it.

Expecting children from poor inner city schools to hit NBA level free throws is just wrong. The basket should be lowered to 3.5 feet and the player should be allowed to stand 2 ft from the basket. Only then will you have real social free throw justice.

  Clearly global warming affected the gravitational pull of the earth, thus causing the ball to drop more rapidly than Bush’s favorability ratings.

C’mon people lighten up, it’s just a…. Nah, you’re all right, that was pretty awful. Lol.

Just imagine that was Obama on the court, the press would be praising that shot, awarding him player of the year.

You can see she swipes at her nose afterwards. I say she sneezed. Let’s cut her some slack. Stuff happens. I remember a guy recently who, in front of millions of people, had the audacity to need to stop and get a drink of water. Talk about embarrassing!!!! (We all know Dems don’t drink water out of fear of melting.)
