One of many nice in-arena advertising and marketing concepts of the previous couple of many years is the “Brickin’ for Rooster” idea, through which followers of a workforce get a free Chick-Fil-A sandwich — or, in some markets, a special free meals merchandise from a quick meals chain — if an opposing participant misses each free throws on a visit to the road.
There’s nothing folks love greater than getting free stuff and when somebody misses the entrance finish of a pair of free throws there’s a buzz within the enviornment that’s, even when only for a number of seconds, solely rivaled by an in depth sport within the last minute. Followers get on their toes, screaming for the chance to get a free sandwich, and the sector completely erupts when that second free throw bounces off the rim. The Clippers are among the many groups with this promo, and on Sunday afternoon within the last sport of the common season, an outdated buddy got here again to ship free rooster to the Clipper devoted.
Boban Marjanovic, who spent two seasons in L.A. with the Clippers the place he was a fan favourite (like each cease of his NBA profession), stepped to the free throw line within the fourth quarter and had his first try rattle out. As the group obtained loud and other people began waving cardboard cutouts of rooster sandwiches, Boban realized what was happening and pointed to the group after which to himself to let the folks know “I obtained you” earlier than purposefully clanging his second try off the left facet of the rim.
Boban then raises his hand triumphantly within the air as the group cheered, realizing that even in a meaningless sport to each groups (Houston being eradicated from the playoffs and the Clippers locked into the 4-seed already) he might ship true pleasure to the folks within the type of a free rooster sandwich.
