The Vancouver Canucks players showed off some genuinely awful basketball shooting skill after finding their way onto the hardwood at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

Jake Virtanen, Ben Hutton and Sam Gagner are absurdly good at hockey. But shooting a basketball, not so much.

Virtanen chucked up not one, but two terrible-looking 3-point attempts that hit the backboard. Gagner's first attempt rimmed out, but off the rebound he hit the side of the backboard.

Hutton, the lone defenseman of the group, put up the best effort by hitting the front rim on his initial 3-point try. But he followed that up with an awful air-ball, despite calling "bank," at the end.

It was enough for the Canucks to solicit help from the NBA's 76ers and their star center Joel Embiid.

Better stick to hockey, boys.
