Is it hyperbole? Possibly a little. But it truly is arguable that Joakim Noah could be one of the worst jump shooters in NBA history.
The New York Knicks center signed a $72 million contract with the Knicks this off-season. Hell, he’s a former defensive player of the year who can rebound, dribble and pass. Some how, even after making two All-Star teams and winning two NCAA championships, he never figured out how to shoot a 15-foot jumper.
This happened Tuesday night against Detroit, an air ball that didn’t even hit the net.
I haven’t even seen a shot that ugly in my weekly church pick-up league at the local junior high. Amazing.
