The curious case of Markelle Fultz’s ugly jump shot took a savage turn on Tuesday, when the former No.1 overall pick became the laughing stock of the NBA world.

Fultz’s struggles shooting the ball have been no secret in his two years in the league since the Philadelphia 76ers moved up to take him first in the 2017 draft, but there might never been a more clear example of just how broken he’s become than these free throw attempts against the Miami Heat.

Fultz’s shot stiffens up as he suffers from the yips but... then things get especially ugly as he, on a later attempt, double-pumps his shot — missing both attempts.

The double-pump left observers stunned at having witnessed “one of the craziest things ever seen on a basketball court”.

For a reminder of what Charles Barkley’s golf swing looks like...

The bad news doesn’t stop there for the young guard, with news emerging on Tuesday that he’d split from the man who was helping recalibrate his baffling stroke — trainer Drew Hanlen.

The signs had been promising, too.

Luckily, the 76ers didn’t need much production out of Fultz — who finished the game with 5 points and shot two from eight from the field — as they went to go on and beat Miami 124-114 to improve their record to 9-6.

And they’ve just added controversial star Jimmy Butler, who is sure to join the starting group for Friday’s clash with Orlando — a move which is sure to relegate Fultz, who can’t buy a trick right now, to the bench.
