BOBAN’S STUNT WON CLIPPERS FANS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF CHICKEN

By Margaret Fleming
UPDATED April 15, 2024 | 01:47 pm
 * Marjanović intentionally missed a free throw to trigger a Clippers promotion
   for free chicken sandwiches.
 * Thanks to high attendance and prices in L.A., fans won tens of thousands of
   dollars of free chicken.

Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports

In the final minutes of the Houston Rockets’ season, Boban Marjanović heard the
Los Angeles Clippers crowd around him cheering after he missed a free throw. The
team runs a promotion for Chick-fil-A that gives fans a free chicken sandwich if
the visiting team misses two consecutive free throws in the fourth quarter. The
former Clipper gave in, missing the second shot on purpose and pointing to the
erupting crowd.

“He gave ‘em chicken! He’s a man of the people!” the broadcasters bellowed.



The Clippers have drawn the league’s 10th-best attendance this season, with
19,370 fans on Sunday night, according to ESPN.

While the chain’s classic sandwich starts at $4.85, they sell for $6.85 at some
locations in Los Angeles. That means up to $132,684.50 worth of free chicken was
on the table.

Whatever amount Marjanović lost for Chick-fil-A, the chicken chain is surely
happy. They’ve given away much more chicken for far less viral moments. The clip
blew up on social media, garnering more than 100,000 likes on the NBA’s
Instagram account alone.



Chick-fil-A and the Clippers did not immediately respond to Front Office
Sports inquiries about the promotion. A spokesperson for FanDuel said the
sportsbook had “nothing to share” about any sports betting implications.

Marjanović ended the Rockets season on a high note, contributing 13 points in 12
minutes to seal an 11-point win over the Clippers, who will host the Mavericks
Sunday in the first round of the NBA playoffs. It could be the final games in
Crypto.com Arena for the Clippers before moving to their new home, the Intuit
Dome, which is scheduled to open in time for next season. The arena is set to
feature a fan section called “The Wall” and twice as many toilets as other NBA
stadiums.
