Boban Marjanović intentionally misses free throw to give Clippers fans free chicken
theathletic.com/5415835/2024/04/15/boban-marjanovic-miss-free-throw-free-chicken/
Quick Glance: Boban Marjanovic's Impact on Fans and Game Outcome
- Boban Marjanovic, the Houston Rockets' center, ensured fans in Los Angeles left happy and well-fed.
- During the late fourth quarter of the Rockets' season finale versus the Los Angeles Clippers, Marjanovic stepped up to the free-throw line and missed the initial shot of a pair. An opposing player missing two consecutive free throws in a Clippers promotion grants fans free chicken.
- Displaying a keen understanding of the situation, Marjanovic personally took charge to secure some chicken for the fan base. Gesturing towards himself, the 7'4" center attempted the second free throw, resulting in another miss as the ball clanged off the rim.
- Having spent two seasons with the Clippers, the 35-year-old reciprocated the affection shown by fans during his time in Los Angeles. The gesture was highly valued by fans in the home arena. Fortunately, Marjanovic's actions at the free-throw line did not significantly impact the game, with the Rockets emerging victorious at 116-105.
