10 outrageous, creative and funny free throw distractions in basketball

#5 Free throw guy

What the name lacks in inventiveness, he makes up for with his antics

Two fans in the NBA have made a name for themselves with their persistent antics: The Speedo Guy and The Free Throw Guy. While the nomenclature behind the latter's name seems bland, he's endeared himself to the Portland squad and often shows up on the jumbotron. He wears a t-shirt with the jersey number 1, and is now retired from his beloved role.

He actually made custom t-shirts for the other 29 NBA teams, and yells out taunts to distract the opponents. To get under the skin of Amare Stoudemire, he put on goggles like the forward wears and yelled "your ego writes checks your body can't cash."
