10 outrageous, creative and funny free throw distractions in basketball

#6 Eva Longoria

Wonder what’s going through Parker’s mind

Tony Parker is one of the few Spurs' players who buys into the celebrity hype. Amidst the silent stars of the Spurs, Parker even had his own catchy rap song. It wasn't a surprise to them to see him marry a celebrity in Eva Longoria. But it did come as a surprise when they were divorced with rumors of Parker's infidelity.

It must have been a surprise to Parker to see a cutout of his wife staring at him while taking a free throw. No primal male can overlook such an egregious affront to his lady. The price of having a celebrity wife is that her image is seen as fair game.

If a player's wife was not a celebrity and someone brought a cardboard cutout of her to a game, the security would probably take the picture away. But home arenas are notorious for ignoring the sensibilities of the visiting team.
