Yes, LeBron James really did airball a free throw

LeBron James isn't a great free-throw shooter, but he's definitely not bad. He has shot 74 percent from the line in his career, which is solid.

Even the best basketball player on the planet is human, and humans airball free throws from time to time. LeBron's time was Tuesday.

During the first quarter of Cleveland's game against the Rockets, LeBron airballed a free throw and almost missed the net entirely, approaching DeAndre Jordan levels of free-throw terribleness.

Many were confused.

Yes, he really did.
