Donovan Mitchell’s to extend the game to OT in his 71 point game comes to mind

The Steven Adams to himself back to Russ

That Cade one tonight should be an all-timer as well. The execution was perfect

At first I thought it was a fail, cause he didn't touch the rim, took me a second to figure it did. But yes, wehen speaking best missed FTs, Yao Ming one comes to mind first every time.

He plays in China now, will be interesting to see his stats there. His last stop in Istanbul didn't work out.

Have to say, the Luka one was my favorite but that one clearly wins.

Hold up, let me rewatch every free throw attempt in the history of the NBA to see if this was truly the greatest intentionally missed one ever.

I always thought the ball had to touch the rim for the play to continue

Didn't Steven Adams have an awesome one that almost won the game? Who am I thinking of.....
:o LeBron is 0-7 in game winning/tying FGs in the finals. And is 20/116 or 17% in game winning/tying FGs in the 4th/OT for his career. That's historically bad :o

It does.

If you're referring to Cade's from last night, the initial call was that it didn't hit the rim and they blew the play dead. But they were wrong, and upon review realized it grazed the rim and gave Detroit the ball. Even as a Warriors fan, I had to admit it was a beauty.
