NBA - Main

Talen Horton Tucker. How does a chubby seeming, 40 year old lookin' YMCA player get to the hoop on the regular in the NBA like this dude?

Jokic

His game is so awkward, he looks like a Serbian construction worker who plays beer league ball on the weekends...lol half his shots don't look like they should go in and he's probably the least athletic person on the court on most nights BUT somehow he's the best player in the world which makes him more likable

kidd-gilchrist's shooting form is the same as kids across the nation who were cut from their jv teams

He's no longer active now, but Brian Scalabrine. People like to make a meme out of him, but that man was really good during his time with the Nets, he just looks so awkward playing basketball.

Curry when he loses his dribble has like TS% of 99%.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Jimmy. Flattest jumper in the world. Kind of just attacks the basket with brute force at times instead of some silky pirouette.

How is Jokic not the top comment?

The entire knicks starting 5 on offense.

Marcus Smart’s game is kinda funky but he makes plays when plays need to be made

Earvin "Magic" Johnson

Pascal Siakam

KAT but only because i think he lacks confidence to bring him to the next level. Almost as if he is unsure of what works or not.

OG

Kyle Anderson

N I K O L A J O K I C

Not in the nba now, but Boris Diaw and currently in the nba Kyle Anderson.

This is how I feel when I watch Larry bird highlights

Not top tier, but Kyle Anderson reminds me of a farmer.

Kyle Anderson?

Caris Lavert. Looks like an elementary kid dribbling for the first time in gym class, awkward looking shot but a solid player. And as a cavs fan, all around good teammate whose sacrificed plenty for the betterment of the team.

Al Horford moves through space all bent over with his hands out like he is trying not to stub his toe in a dark room, or is trying to hold the safety patrol line because the crossing guard hasn't blown the whistle yet.

When he shoots the ball he looks like he is trying to rewire a smoke detector harness.

I still say Pascal, even after all these years and achievements, my boy look wreckless out there. Also OG. Boy's handles leave something to be desired.

I like Kawhi’s game but to me, he’s clunky. He has effective mechanics but it’s sometimes it looks robotic to me.

Shawn Marion was the king Joakim Noah was one too

Horford

Towns

Brook Lopez. Seems like he's both falling down and up stairs at the same time, but makes the bucket.

Antoine Walker

Not current but I don't understand how Shawn Marion ever made a shot.

Antoine Walker had odd floaters and post moves. Ntm the wiggle.

Surprised Jokic is not the top answer, dude is plodding around the court

Al Horford. Not smooth at all, never played for my favorite team, but he’s one of my favorite players of his generation(s).

Julius.

I always thought Blake griffin was like that… when he would dunk he’d look amazing but everything else was clunky, his jumper, free throw, and his post moves were always ugly

Well, Shaq and Wilt are probably the all time kings of that, absolute beasts on offence in spite of the fact that neither of them could hit a free throw to save their lives.

OG Anunoby. He runs like he’s always about to fall. Love him though

great question

Westbrick

Joe ingles for sure even his jumper screams wtf

Myles Turner, in the lane he moves around like a baby deer trying to walk for the first time. Usually just fails around and hopes for a foul call.

Siakam

Herb

For higher profile players, it's Lebron (and Zion). He moves awful. Even the way he runs is bad. He jumps awkwardly too (admittedly still very high).

Maybe because it is the overly muscular neck and shoulders that limits the grace of the arms moving. No idea why both Zion and Lebron runs like that though (does it limit injuries running exaggeratedly like that?)

Siakam

I don't know about today but it used to be Antawn Jamison. He had so many ways to score around the basket and they all looked awkward as hell.

Ron Artest aka Metta World Peace was very stiff looking when he played imo
