NBA players are doing all sorts of routines before they shoot FT and kids are watching and trying to copy them. That is what I meant.

Why are you so concerned with what happens on TV? I have never seen any routine that looked like a fake. Maybe you have seen this, but I have not. I could take it a step further and say I have never seen a fake on a FT either on TV or in person. The player likely came up with this routine on their own and it happens to be boarding on legality.

I totally agree with you. I don't think I've once seen on TV any NBA player purposely or intentionally fake a free throw. But the weird thing is that NBA players are often charged for lane violation for some strange reasons. Shaq seems to be great at drawing "lane violations."

They are? I have not seen any more lane violations being called at the NBA level as any other level. I guess you must watch more NBA games than I do (which is very likely considering other than the playoffs I might not have watched a single NBA game from beginning to end).

Whether this is tried on TV or not, the player likely has never been told this might be a violation. I just do not understand what TV has to do with everything.

Meadowlark and Meadowlark wannabes are the only ones I have seen fake a FT.

You've never seen the Globetrotters on TV?

I saw them in person a couple times when I was much, much younger.
