The Most Bizarre Moments in NBA History

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
From painting your own hairline, Check out the crowd, got another picture. to getting manhandled by Shafts, Yes, on Tracy McRae. These are the most bizarre NBA moments. And first up, we got Chuck Hayes bizarre free throws. Because even someone who's never heard of basketball couldn't make a free throw like Chuck Hayes if they tried.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:18)
Chuck Hayes was the killer. Uh-oh, oh my goodness.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:21)
That's one of those you don't even want to watch.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:23)
At that point, missing it isn't even the problem. You know the coach was sweating while watching that. But Ricky Rubio's coach probably wanted to yell at him in 2019, because the way he was guarding James Harden in the playoffs was weird as hell. Yeah, yeah, he was probably trying to funnel him to go bare. But clearly, Harden had other plans. I guess that coverage is better than getting too aggressive, because there's been way too many fights over nothing in the NBA recently. So many that Jayden Daniels and Russell Westbrook wanted to get it in too. They just did it a little differently.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:54)
But yeah, the push initially from McDaniels and then just the ball going back and forth between McDaniels and Westbrook.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:00)
You gotta love Cat and Rudy watching it like it was a tennis match. But it's nowhere near as wack as Luke Cornett's playing style. And even though Cornett's got one of the weirdest defensive moves ever, it's high-key genius. I mean, how the hell are you supposed to aim with Ryu flying around the court?

**SPEAKER_5** (1:13)
He's just gonna jump in the air and block the rim. How you gonna make a shot with him doing that at the Cornett contest?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:18)
Like for real, man is playing ball in 2045 with that move. But we gotta go back in time for one of the weirdest kiss cam moments ever. Because the kiss cam is iconic for either making someone's day or making things awkward as hell for fans. And that's all fun and games until you make things weird for the players.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:35)
At the end of the first quarter, Miami led by 13 and a half time.

**Jeff Van Gundy** (1:38)
But it really went sideways for the Hawks to strive for third quarter.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:42)
That announcer wanted to see some bron-bron and Wade action way too badly. But while they were trying to hide from the camera, Shaq was caught in 4K. And he was straight up disrespecting T-Mac.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:51)
He had a kiss on Tracy McRae.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:54)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:55)
I get trying to assert dominance, but that's the first time I've seen it done that way. And somehow, this is probably one of the least bizarre moments. Because one of the most bizarre moments did never happen on the court. It happened in the booth. Yeah, mid-broadcast, Jeff Van Gundy asked something so bizarre, it leaves Mike Breen speechless.

**Jeff Van Gundy** (2:11)
What do second cousins mean?

**SPEAKER_9** (2:15)
Well, it's not, it's not, I can't, I don't want to go into it.

**Jeff Van Gundy** (2:18)
All right, if people say it, I never know what they mean. Or what you're allowed to do when you're a second cousin.

**SPEAKER_10** (2:27)
What are you talking about?

**Jeff Van Gundy** (2:28)
No, I'm just talking about, I don't know what a second cousin means.

**SPEAKER_11** (2:32)
I am so grateful for this commercial right now.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:35)
The question sounded way too much like a confession. Like what, bro? But one of the weirder moments in 2025 happened when Nick Richards' brain lagged out. Because after Richards snagged rebound, he got nervous and passed the ball to the absolute last person you'd expect.

**SPEAKER_8** (2:48)
Fires the three, Richards the rebound, throws in the corner to, who else? Patrick Beverly!

**SPEAKER_1** (2:54)
Gotta love Pat Bev looking like, so do I shoot now? Definitely an interesting move to pass to someone that's not even on your team. But listen, when it comes to pushing the game forward, I'm all for creative playmaking. If anything, the NBA needs more of that. But whatever Kyle Liery tried to do to George Hill in 2020, I'm never trying to see that again.

**SPEAKER_12** (3:13)
Offensive foul, Kyle Liery.

**SPEAKER_13** (3:15)
I don't think I've ever seen anybody try to take their bodies through the guy's leg.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:20)
He almost hit the craziest cross under of all time. I couldn't even try to tell you what that play was. But not every bizarre moment happens from a whack play. Because one time before Warriors game, Steve Kerr was caught trying to hide in the stands.
