The NBA Should Be ALL IN On Players Distracting Free Throws BASEketball Style

There's absolutely no question here. The NBA should be encouraging this. We shouldn't be mocking Kelly Oubre for the knee waggle. Absolutely not. Think about it. We have minimal fans in attendance right now. We're limited and the playoffs are coming. Every single point matters in the playoffs, there's nothing like it. So if you're standing there at the free throw line, you gotta play some defense. You can't rely on people in the stands. Take matters into your own hands. We've seen the success - sure, it's a movie, but you're telling me a BASEketball league wouldn't survive? I'll call you a liar. 

Real question would be, who in the NBA turns into Squeak? 

Imagine being on the hot mic, hearing 'yeah well I heard your mom went out with ALEX CARUSO.' I don't think Alex Caruso would be Squeak, but you get the point. I'm obviously as Knicks fan, you're telling me we wouldn't lead the league in free throw defense with this? Thibs would be setting up practices left and right teaching his guys how to Psych out. We're already the best defense in the league, I already assume Nerlens Noel would be a MONSTER on Psych Outs. Thibs might be a monster himself just from the sidelines doing this: 

Good luck making free throws with that going on. Now I just want to rewatch BASEketball. Just a classic movie.
