Did Lucas Nogueira of the Toronto Raptors pull off one of the best distraction jobs in NBA history last night? As Derrick Favors of the Utah Jazz was getting ready to shoot a free throw, Nogueira decided it was the perfect time to “adjust” his shorts.

I’m sure Nogueira will claim he was just fixing his jersey and shorts but players fix their uniform all the time without dropping their shorts to the floor.

You can tell that Favors caught a glimpse of what happened because he hesitated for just that extra moment and wound up missing the shot. Not saying he wouldn’t have missed anyway but the distraction happening out the corner of his eye definitely played a part.
