A University of South Florida basketball forward has become an internet sensation after video of his free throw technique spread widely on social media. The player's shooting motion, which resembles a shot put toss more than a traditional basketball free throw, has drawn millions of views and widespread commentary.
The clip, originally shared on November 3, 2026, shows the forward using a two-handed, underhand heave from the chest, generating both amusement and admiration for its uniqueness. While unorthodox, the form has reportedly been effective for the player.
