I've heard Shaq say before that he made a 3-pointer, so I knew it wasn't him.

I'm still waiting for another hint or so, because I can't seem to narrow it down.

He is currently playing. Center. He's shot it 31 times and missed them all. No more than 4 attempts in one year, though he does have 4 this year. Played a long time. Probably a majority of the time they were buzzer beaters of the shot clock or first half. I don't think he's a good free throw shooter.

Has only two letters in his first name.

I wish I didn't see your hint. But when I quote it, it appears.

I was going to guess DeAndre Jordan or Andre Drummond.

But now taking into account your hint, hmm.

It can't be Al Horford.

Nene.

Can you look up who has the most FT attempts in their career without a make?

Did you know Tyson Chandler never made a three pointer?

Nene.

No, not Nene but you have the right idea. You didn’t fall for the trick. Nene does only have two different letters.

It isn’t very impressive. Only 36 players in this list is listed as even taking a free-throw without making one. And the total for the record holder isn’t very high: http://bkref.com/tiny/iJ2Yc

Is the answer Tyson Chandler, or was he someone who was on the list, but doesn't have the most attempts without ever making one?

Darn, 0 - 7 isn't not very fun.

I was hoping for something like 0 - 26.

Making only one free throw is more impressive: http://bkref.com/tiny/GreU1

1 - 13 is pretty good. Still wish there was a higher FTA attempt total.

I usually don't like to see futility, but this is probably one funny exception.

It would also help if there was a montage of their misses.

After 1 - 13, which of these %'s are the few worst?

When you hear the answer it’s going to be very, very obvious. However, it may not be the first person you guess. Who has the longest streak of games with one 2-point shot made, one three-point shot made, and one free-throw? Incidentally, he has the top three streaks in history.

What is the longest streak of games where somebody made 100% free throws and 100% three point shots?
I think the answer is surprising both in number of games and who.

The spoiler has a hint and not the answer. The link has the answer. So if you quote it, you will find a hint but the hint is not for who but rather something else.

That’s 4 seasons worth. Am I doing the search incorrectly?

One more game in between those two streaks and it would have been 730 games. That is almost 10 seasons.

However, I just realized that it isn’t as surprising. I was thinking I was doing ratio of over 2 to 1 but instead I’m just doing more than the other. Stupid me. I was thinking of something else.

Ray Allen, James Harden, Kevin Durant, not Dirk Nowitzki, not Steph Curry, not Reggie Miller, not LeBron James, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce.

Mike Miller, John Stockton, Predrag Stojakovic.

To see Bogues or Avery Johnson is more surprising than seeing Stockton.
