Fail! NBA Player Airballs 3 Shots in 40 Seconds

Nothing like some good schadenfreude on Thursday morning, ain't that right sports fans?

Well then how about this video in which an NBA player airballs three shots in 40 seconds during a Wednesday night game. Our (anti-)hero here is Mirza Teletovic. He's 6-foot-9, 255 pounds, 27 years old and in his first NBA season playing for the Brooklyn Nets. Maybe he'll go on to be a fine player one day. Maybe he won't. Either way, he's never living this down.

He is, however, making $3 million this season. So the joke is, in fact, on us. But still we laugh.
