The guys getting hacked are all hovering around the 50 percent line or lower. After hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of practice, they have developed a shot that's as likely to miss as hit.
They can try their best, but they know there's little they can do to be more or less successful in this moment. They just have to throw the ball up and hope for the best. The Hack-A-Whoever isn't the only scenario where an athlete has to perform a task they aren't suited to perform.
We love to watch NL pitchers hit, or position players pitch, or when an NFL kicker gets injured and some guy who hasn't kicked since high school has to try extra points or kick punts.
But those are different for a few reasons. For starters, those people are doing difficult things. Almost all recreational basketball players can hit half their free throws. And then you get an NBA guy who can't. Their shot is no harder. And there are no expectations on those other fish out of water. You pinch hit for a pitcher if he's actually batting in a serious situation. Position players only pitch in blowouts. Nobody will judge the random kicker for missing.
The Hack-A-Whoever isn't random and it's important for the players to perform. It's a strategy that takes the worst players in a sport at a specific thing and makes them do that thing. It forces them to display their weakness. Their teams can win or lose based on the performance of these fish out of water.
And the only person who can cause them to succeed or fail is themselves. The Hack-A-Whoever might be terrible for basketball.
