So, the Sixers and Washington Wizards were playing a couple of years ago,and the Wiz were trailing by 20 when Wizards coach Scott Brooks first tried Hack-a-Ben. A career 59% free throw shooter helped him bring the gap down.
Then Bradley Beal started fouling him,.
“Ben said, ‘I’m tired of you motherf*****s fouling me on purpose, man. I’m going to step up here and knock these two down. Five thousand dollars says I will,’” an anonymous coach told Heavy.com.
“To which Beal replied, ‘You wanna make it 20?’ And then he went up and bricked one. I don’t think he said another word.
Ben Simmons didn’t shoot a free throw against the Wizards when we did play them, so we just lying for clicks now I see. https://t.co/WMJNs1HOw4
