Fans Had Lots of Jokes About Tacko Fall’s Bizarre Free Throw Form at NBA Summer League

Lovable 7’6” big man Tacko Fall is currently attempting to make an NBA comeback, but video of his unorthodox free throw form has fans clowning the former Celtics center.

Fall, who is playing in the NBA Summer League with the Bucks, was never known as a shooter during his time in college at UCF or during his brief NBA stints with the Celtics and Cavaliers. 

But his herky-jerky form at the charity stripe in Las Vegas has gone viral, with some fans calling it the worst shooting form they’ve ever seen.

Here’s a look at Fall’s shot:

Fall is 8-of-25 during his NBA career at the free throw line, but he did shoot 53% from the line during the 2021–22 season in the G League with the Canton Charge. 

He spent the 2022–23 season in China with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers, where he put together some incredible highlight-reel plays.
