Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin missed two consecutive free throws during his team’s NBA Play-In Tournament game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night, and it was a big deal.
Not just for the Heat who definitely wanted the two points, but for the 76ers fans who all won free chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-A out of the moment.
Indeed, the “Bricken For Chicken” promotion gives all Philly fans free chicken nuggets from the fast food restaurant if an opposing player misses two shots from the charity stripe in the second half.
Martin did his part of the job, and ESPN NBA broadcaster Mike Breen did his with a very funny call to commemorate the crowd going wild for the free nuggets.

This is such a fun moment for Breen, who clearly knew how to accentuate the crowd’s reaction with such an endearing call.
Hey, people love free food. Boban Marjanović earned plenty of new Los Angeles Clippers fans when he missed two free throws to give that home crowd free chicken, and Martin did his part to win over some new fans in Philadelphia.
Maybe Breen will, too, with this delightful moment.
