Watch these two Joey Dorsey free throws. Watch them. WATCH THEM:
These horrendous Joey Dorsey free throws prove he might be the worst in NBA history
Dorsey is taking a serious run at the worst free throw shooting season of all time.

Neither hit the rim first. One was an airball. One hit the backboard, then the rim. The announcer went WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE on both while the ball was still in the air, to make fun of how bad they were, and the free throws did not disappoint.
Dorsey has never been a good free throw shooter -- his career best for a season is 50 percent, and that was when he went 1 for 2 -- but this season is his magnum opus. He is currently 1 for 6 in the game, lowering him to 18 for 68 or 26.4 percent. If he were to end the season without taking another free throw, he would have the worst percentage of anybody to ever take that many free throws.
It's a significantly worse figure than DeAndre Jordan (39.3 percent) and worse than the worst season by Wilt Chamberlain (38.0 percent) or Shaq (42.2 percent).
Only six players have ever taken more than 50 free throws and shot less than 30 percent, and none of them took more than 69 attempts in a year. So Dorsey is in rarefied air.
(Then again, Houston’s Clint Capela is currently 0 for 13 from the line, so, he might have a competitor.)
