As I've written about before, not every record you can hold is a good one. I've already taken a look at 7 of those bad records , so here are 7 more. Let's get right into this, these are 7 more unfortunate NBA records. Shaquille O'Neal Record: Most Free Throws Attempted in a Game Without a Make Starting off this list we have a Hall of Famer and one of the greatest centers in the history of basketball, Shaquille O'Neal. Drafted with the 1st overall pick in the 1992 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic, Shaq spent 19 years creating a legacy for himself few could match. Over his career, O'Neal won four championships, an MVP in 2000, the Rookie of the Year in 1993, and three Finals MVPs, lead the league in scoring twice and in shooting percentage 10 times, and was selected to the all-star game 15 times, the All-NBA 1st Team eight times, and the All-Defensive 2nd Team three times.

Needless to say, there are more than just 8 draft day mistakes that have been made in the history of the NBA. With that being said, here are 7 more draft day mistakes. Trading Scottie Pippen for Olden Polynice (1987) Let's start this off with the first of two trades on this list. In the 1987 NBA Draft, the Seatle SuperSonics used the #5 overall pick to select Scottie Pippen out of Central Arkansas. However, they then decided to trade Pippen to the Chicago Bulls for the #8 overall pick Olden Polynice. That would end up being a big mistake. Polynice's career wasn't terrible, but it wasn't worth trading away their pick for him. Polynice had career averages of 7.8 points & 6.7 rebounds per game while shooting 50%. He spent the majority of his career bouncing around the NBA, playing on five different teams during his fifteen-year career. While not...
