WATCH: DeAndre Jordan with back-to-back airballs on free throw attempts

In case you haven’t heard, DeAndre Jordan isn’t quite on Steph Curry’s level when it comes to shooting free throws.

After watching the Los Angeles Clippers’ big man airball two in a row on Sunday night, we have come to the conclusion he’s not even on Shaquille O’Neal’s level when it comes to shooting free throws.

Judge for yourself.

It’s funny to hear the announcer say “we haven’t seen one of those in a while,” and then the other announcer chimes in with “you wonder how that can possibly happen” — after the first miss.

It’s hard to fathom a professional player — making nearly $22 million per season — could be this bad at shooting a basketball from 15 feet away. Yet this is a persistent problem Jordan has struggled with his entire career. He’s making just 38.7 percent of his free throws this season and has made just 41.5 percent for his career.

Most average Americans could do better than this. Then again, most average folks aren’t 6-foot-11 and 265 pounds.
