Basketball can be a funny sport at times, and the NBA provides the highest level of entertainment in the sport. NBA players have contracts that are determined by their performance in the stats column, including field goal percentage, which prevents several from attempting end-of-quarter heaves until after the clock hits 0 because of their low percentage to make the shot.
Just last season, only 12 heaves (shots attempted beyond the back court) were made out of 514 total attempts between 221 NBA players. None of the Memphis Grizzlies players made their attempts, going a combined 0-20 between eight players.
