Despite playing the fewest NBA playoff games among players on this list (52), DeAndre Jordan's poor free-throw conversion rate has seen him miss a whopping 227 free throws in his postseason career.

The center has attempted 6.7 shots from the foul line, converting only 40.4% of his shots from there. Jordan has never been a player who would shoot far from the basket. Having played his entire career as a traditional center.

#2 Dwight Howard (451 FTs missed)

Akin to DeAndre Jordan, Dwight Howard has also been a player who has preferred to play as a traditional center, which has affected his shooting from the foul line. Howard has attempted eight free throws per game in his 125-game long career so far, with a 54% conversion rate.

#1 LeBron James (615 FTs missed)

LeBron James has played most NBA playoff games (266) in the history of the league. The duration of his playoff career has seen him break many records and achieve many unwanted records as well. One of them is missing the most free throws in postseason history (615). His conversion rate is still the best among players on this list, though, at 74% on 8.9 attempts per game.
