Wizards' Jan Vesely tosses another air ball free throw

Jan Vesely is making a strong case for worst free-throw shooter of NBA histroy.

The Washington Wizards seven-footer famously started his NBA career with an air ball on his first free throw. And teams should employ the hack-a-Vesely strategy if he ever heats up in a game (which is a rare occurrence) as he's shooting well below is career average of 40 percent from the line. This season, he's shooting 25 percent on 28 attempts. 

Saturday night against the Pistons, Vesely sunk his first free bucket in his last 15 attempts, and also tossed an air ball just in case you forgot. 

USA Today threw together a "brief history" of Vesely's air balls. Take a look.
