The most brilliant promotion in sports seems simple: If a visiting NBA player misses two straight free throws in the fourth quarter, every fan in the arena gets free chicken. But the untold story of Brickin' for Chicken is a tale of psychology, philanthropy and unintended consequences — and nobody wants to admit the truth. So we teamed up with Oddball's Amin Elhassan to reveal hidden evidence, pointing to a new theory about this quid-pro-bird. And then we (literally) chased down The Robin Hood of Wings: no less than Giannis Antetokounmpo himself. • Subscribe to Oddball with Amin Elhassan and Izzy Gutierrez https://www.youtube.com/@OddballHoops • Subscribe to Thanalysis https://thanalysis.podbean.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

What is 'Brickin' for Chicken'?
Oh, I saw.
Oh, the same cow that was with Marcin Gortat.
At his chicken party. Yep. Is back.
Dancing its ass off. It could not have been scripted any better.
I mean, again, rational brain wants to enter the conversation, okay? So as much as it's a signal that something that is total proof of your theory is happening, I mean, like, that was a two... I'm looking at the score. That was a two-point game. The Bucs badly needed this. The whole theory that Giannis is being incentivized because of his love of chicken and because of his love of...
frankly, humanity, the theory that he's doing this on purpose, I mean, again, they need these wins. I mean, why? Why would he do this?
Well, why would he do it in general, regardless of whether the game is on the line or not? It's a lot of things. Maybe it's, again, he loves sickening. He wants everyone to have it. Maybe it's because, hey, this is my weakness that everyone jeers and mocks me for. That turns into something that makes me a little bit more affable, right? Maybe, hey, guess what, Pablo?
Ever look at the all-star voting? You know who's number one? Not Steph Curry, everyone's darling. Not LeBron James, the greatest player ever, according to some people. Not Victor Wembanyama, this phenomenon. The number one all-star vote guy in the league is Giannis Antetokounmpo, who plays for Milwaukee. It's not like everyone in Wisconsin turned out to stuff the ballot boxes.
Wait, you're saying that Giannis Antetokounmpo has been using chicken the way Elon Musk has been using money to win elections?
