You can throw away your gigantic "BRICK" signs, you can burn your giant squiggly things, and please, jam your "Thunder Stix" somewhere where I'll never see them. This Seton Hall fan has just come up with the ultimate free throw distraction: his gelatinous gut.

You get a few thousand people together, and they're all making noise and going nuts, it all blends into white noise. You get one solitary guy, doing something like that ... now that's a distraction. I'm going to miss my next ten free throws because I'll be thinking of that guy and laughing my ass off.

It's unfortunate that the video has no sound, but the brilliance of this man rises above it. It's like appreciating a fine Charlie Chaplin film.

Big thanks to Deadspin commenter and all-around solid guy Rob Iracane for the find.
