[Lowlight] Paolo Banchero with a contender for worst airball of the season:
He forgot to account for the change in gravity in London
Or the wind
My only thought is that his subconscious, altruistic mind was telling him to pass it down low for the easy bucket, but his ego told him to chuck it. The inner King wanted to humble him with that trash air ball.
Hmm….yup that’s pretty bad there
That was pretty damn bad, definitely a contender— not sure where it lands in the too ten but I know Dyson has the other 9 spots locked up
Idk Clingan has been trying to develop his 3 this year and in the growing pains there’s been some… less than desirable results. Unless you’re a rim I guess lol
love the flair lol
Amen Thompson has some wildly entertaining 3s, he’s gotta be in the list
If it doesn’t have to be a live ball shot, Rudy Gobert shot a free throw just the other day that I’m not sure ever cleared 9’ off the ground and missed horrendously
Don’t count Amen out here
A solid foot in front of the basket. What are we doing here Paolo
Nah you’d get pulled from the rec run for this
Franz is the one who yelled “hell no!”
A more hyped Tobias Harris
he’s literally just a worse julius randle lol
He doesn’t have Randle’s motor or relentless agression. Bad comp.
hence being worse.. lol
respect randle, he’s better than this bum. watch randle against wemby for example
Yes, the person you’re responding said Randle was better
julius randle is one of the best knicks of all time, and top 3 knick of the past two decades. idk how he thinks im not respecting him lol
top 3 knick of the past two decades.
Carmelo Anthony, Jalen Brunson, and Julius Randle?
them: this guy is worse than Julius Randle
you: Julius Randle is better than this guy
Tobias is a better defender and shooter
Seeing him live though it seems to be he can be dominant, he just has to be a rim attacker. But for whatever reason he tries to be Stef Curry and he’s brutal from 3.
This is a wide open shot tbf
He’s a 6’10 dude shooting 27% from 3, just drive.
Tobias Harris can shoot
Wow, what a clown take. The upvotes show the intelligence level of this place.
Throw on your magic flair so we can see why it got under your skin so much bud.
Will never forget when he was talking shit to AG saying “im not you” when AG left him open for a 3 and Paolo hit it
Couple years later now Gordon shoots 40 from 3 and jabstepping melo wannabe Paolo is shooting 27
AG’s supervillain origin story
and then easy dunk missed
Caruso has a worse one like once a game
Ausar does this pretty much every time he shoots a wide open three.
Does it just count as a turnover at that point
It counts as 2 misses
I don’t know how that’s even possible in the NBA. I’ve never seen a rec league shot miss that bad.
What kinda rec league are you in that you havent seen this shot
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an airball miss the ring by 2 feet like that before, maaaaybe nearly that bad on a stepback fade over a heavy contest, certainly not on a wide open jump shot lmao. Depends on your rec league I guess
Damn, you’re not kidding
Shams said he been working with Markelle Fultz’s shooting coach 🔥
He had one just as bad vs. the Pistons. Dude can dominate inside but chooses to shoot all over the place. Shai is great because he knows where his bread is buttered, Paolo needs to learn this.
A forward has to shoot this in today’s league though. If he doesn’t shoot this anymore he is near Ben Simmons levels of fear of shooting.
well I agree but an occasional three to keep the defense honest is different than taking the majority of your shots mid range and out when you have the physical skills to dominate inside. Look at Giannis not a great shooter but does enough to keep from the defense from crowding the paint. Obviously Giannis is better but Paolo can learn from his game.
The next Trae / Ja situation
Franz deserves better
Great advert for the game. In london air balling from one of the most trash talking clowns in the league
Showing the Brits how basketball is played 😂
Jet lag
GOOD GOD
the third thompson twin
Classic Peanut Butter
Every time he shoots a 3, I just assume it’s a miss. Wish he just dominated the mid range and paint more often
Wish he just dominated the mid range and paint more often
He’s one of the worst mid-range shooters among any high-volume scorer, so that’s asking a lot. Under 39% for his career from 16 feet to the 3-point line, 40.6% from 10 feet to 16 feet. Bully ball is his only option.
Classic TOS kind of shot…….
You calling him a TOS boy? (iykyk)
It’s always wild to me how you can make it to the nba and things like this still happen.
Why is no one yelling airball
The limey bastards don’t know ball
Did you hear the ‘hell naw’
I figured that was a player lol
Oh heavens
Looking like me out there
That was me last week at the court. But I’m sure his teammate didn’t tell him to “Get the fuck off the court!!” Like mines did.
Meh. I watched Rudy airball two? three? free throws two days ago.
Jetlag on the 3
I remember when people thought banchero was better than cade
That long plane ride did numbers on his legs lol
All star game should be Gobert vs Banchero for an airball off
Bro what
Even Amen Thompson has never airballed that badly, this is pretty brutal stuff
IDK that one against Portland recently where all 5 blazers (and also every Rocket in the paint for that matter) just turned around and crashed the glass as soon as the ball left Amen’s hands, only to see it sail out of bounds on an airball was pretty bad.
HELL NAWWW

Nah. There are lots of layups that get airballed that are much worse than this. Last night I watched Maxi Kleber airball an 8 foot shot worse than this. That’s at least one shot far worse than this one.
KAT had a similar one last night. Wide open, missed everything and wasn’t even close.
Bro thought he was shooting from the college line
wasn’t even fucking close. and he was wide open. gg
Paolo has a great game in Berlin, has an airball in London and everyone starts rekindling the “Hes a bum” fire. Everyone airballs shit eventually. Banchero has his irritating flaws but comon.
Ok Brits…I know you’re all new tot his, but we all yell “AAAAAIIIIIRRRR BAAAAAAAAAAALLLL!” when that happens.
i am still seeing a clip from like 2 weeks ago the sub won’t show anything else
You gotta update your Reddit app
Never used the reddit app. It’s it really as bad as everyone says?
Uninstall and reinstall reddit
This dude is supposed to be a franchise cornerstone.
I told you guys Sharpe was going to be the best player from that class and got laughed at. Well I am laughing at you all now cause it’s looking like I’m gonna be right.
Sharpe is averaging the highest points out of that class while being one of the youngest/least experienced players from it.
Paolo sucks. Chet isn’t great. Jabari is mid at best. Mathurin, Ivey, Murray, none of them clear Shaedon. J-Dub is stinky and overrated.
Lmao Sharpe is even less efficient than Paolo
Bro fell off. I thought he was going to be the next great player.
Looks like he’s going the Blake Griffin route. Good, but not a true franchise player.
lol Blake made All-NBA 6 times
And had an all-time rookie season.
Frankly rookie Blake is better than Paolo will likely ever be.
Blake griffin had a top-3 mvp finish plus the all-nbas and all stars
Never once considered Blake Griffin elite.
The biggest failure is CP3/Blake underachieving on the Clippers. That team was never a threat to win anything.
that seems like a personal problem. healthy Blake was elite
How does a team with 2 elite players continously come up short in the playoffs?
I remember the hype those Clippers teams got and they always failed in the playoffs. CP3 and Blake were literally treated like royalty during that time with all the commercials they had.
Elite comes with some type of postseason success.
The west was really damn good. You had the spurs, okc and then golden state blocking the way
If you put that team in the east they would have made the finals a few times
Except those Clippers teams were favored during that time. People kept saying it was there year to win it all and every year they would choke.
Sorry but if Blake was elite and he played with a elite sidekick you should have some type of success in the postseason.
Blake was good, but was one of the most overrated stars of that time. Known more for his highlight dunks than his actual game. Guy had the talent to be much better, but it never clicked.
Which year was the clippers actually favored? 2015 was the closest but even then golden state was just better than them
Blake also was pretty good in the playoffs and developed a solid mid range game
You realize those Clippers teams had depth?
Jamal Crawford was the best 6th man in the league. They had Barnes who was a defender and JJ Redick one of the best shooters in the league. That team was expected to contend. They failed.
Blake Griffin’s career is like the 95th percentile outcome of Paolo.
Found the casual lol
Based on one 3 is crazy
But either way anyone who thought Paolo was a franchise player is crazy. Great player, awesome second option, or part of a larger core (ala boston) but he was never gonna be a true franchise changer like Ant or wemby
Classic revisionism lol he had a great rookie season
You obviously didn’t watch his rookie season. Dude was looking like he was going to be the next great player and a MVP candidate.
I did watch his rookie year. He had the same problems he has now. Lacklustre touch from anywhere outside of 6 feet, slow lateral movement, making it tough to get around defenders, taking too many tough middies because of subpar vision for a player who sees the ball as much as he did.
Call me crazy but I like his role on the new look magic. He doesn’t ice out the offence as much anymore.
always the top 1% commenters who post the dumbest shit
This is why we special.😎
