Each time Giannis Antetokounmpo stepped to the line in Game 1 of the Nets-Bucks series, he was greeted by a multimedia experience.
On the big Daktronics board above half court, a digital clock counted down the number of seconds Antetokounmpo held the ball before shooting it. In the stands, the Brooklyn Brigade accompanied the countdown. Players must shoot the ball within 10 seconds of being handed it by the ref. Antetokounmpo, an awful foul shooter, is notorious for holding on to the ball and the refs are reluctant to call him on it.
It was a lot of fun and apparently effective.
