“Steph Curry's form is nice and all but he's got nothing on Bill Cartwright”: NBA Twitter erupts as the former Bulls champion’s shooting action goes viral on social media

Former 3-time NBA champion Bill Cartwright had one of the most absurd-looking jump shoots in the entire league’s history.

During the 75 years of the NBA, we have witnessed some of the most unique jump shots. A few peculiar ones are – Shawn Marion’s weird shooting form, Rick Barry’s famous underhand free throw, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist’s unconventional action are just a few of the many.

Former NBA star Bill Cartwright is among the many players in history to have one of the most hideous shooting actions of all time. Unlike most of the players, who shot the ball far too low, Cartwright would launch the rock extremely high.

The best way to describe his shooting form would be… peculiar.

Here, have a look at it.
