MILWAUKEE — Controversy reigned in the corner of the gym. Zeke Nnaji was taking his turn in a free-throw competition against Russell Westbrook, DeAndre Jordan and Dario Saric after the Nuggets wrapped up practice Wednesday at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, and the objective was not simply to make the most foul shots — it was to make them via a perfect swish.
Almost every attempt was the subject of litigation. When Nnaji made one that may or may not have snipped the side of the rim on its way down, Jordan instantly waved it off, avenging his own side-of-the-rim make that wasn’t counted.
