It mentioned pump fakes to get someone in the air and commit a foul (to get to the free throw line) and they brought up Chandler Parson's pump fake style, which I guess I never realized he had a unique pump fake.
Here's the article:

And here's the video of CPs pump fake, which he was incredibly good at. I suspect he developed this technique after joining the NBA as I just don't remember him doing it while at UF. He may have used the technique while at UF; however, .............................
