Vine: LeBron James hits the worst free throw you’ll ever see

The shot that sums up his return to Cleveland

Neil Treacy

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, he’s human.

Considering Will Ferrell’s antics in New Orleans last night, we’re kind of hoping that LeBron James is secretly filming for a Space Jam remake, because there isn’t much else that can explain this attempt at a free throw.

James stepped up to the free throw line, before putting a little (a lot) less zip than usual on the ball, only to watch it sail painfully short of the rim, and fall embarrassingly to the floor.

In truth, it’s a shot that sums up his return to Cleveland so far.
