An Oakland basketball fan shaved his head to distract a Cleveland State player shooting free throws

Trying to distract an opposing player while they’re attempting free throws is a timeless tradition in basketball.

Shaving someone’s head as a way to distract said opposing player is certainly a fresh approach.

During Oakland men’s basketball’s Saturday tilt with Cleveland State, a host of Golden Grizzlies fans shaved one of their fellow fan’s head right behind the basket while a Cleveland State player attempted his free throws.

The broadcast crew got a huge kick out of this wild fan stunt, and even if it didn’t work to prevent the attempts, it was a noble (and hilarious) effort all the same.

Can you imagine getting a brand-new haircut at a basketball game while you’re in the stands?

It’s not the typical way to enjoy a game, but this very dedicated Oakland basketball fan has to get a special pat on the back for going this far to help his team.
