House of Highlights/IG
Rookie Chinanu Onuaku will always remember Dec. 26, 2016 - his official NBA debut for the Houston Rockets in a 131-115 victory over the Phoenix Suns at Toyota Center.
Basketball fans will also take away fond memories from the game, especially if they enjoy unorthodox free throws from time to time.
Two of the 20-year-old's six points came at the charity stripe, as Onuaku showed off his underhanded form for the first time during the regular season.
"I was nervous as hell," Onuaku said of his makes following the win, according to ESPN's Calvin Watkins.
