11 slam-dunk reactions to the basketball player who deliberately missed a shot to win the fans free chicken
A promotion at the Los Angeles Clippers’ stadium offered a free chicken sandwich from Chick-Fil-A for every attendee if the opposition team missed two consecutive free throws in the final quarter. One former Clippers player, visiting with his new team, stepped up and became a hero.
Boban Marjanovic, now of the Houston Rockets, hammed it up so the fans would know he was doing them a favour and not just bad at taking shots.
Here’s what happened.
Boban missed his 2nd free throw on purpose so fans could win free chicken

“He gave them chicken! He’s a man of the people! He gave out free chicken!”
Tough luck for the veggie fans, though.
Boban’s generous gesture – as his team had just an eight-point lead and five minutes left to play – went down well online, too.

This is funny as heck in a game the Rockets were about to win in LA, The fans were cheering when Boban missed his first free-throw, because if the opposition misses two in a row, the fans get free chicken.
So watch what Boban does. I love Boban! pic.twitter.com/O5eY7TFR6K
