===Mr. Whammy===
Bruce Reznick, known commonly as "Mr. Whammy", is an iconic 86-year-old Nets [[Fan (person)|superfan]]. Reznick became a Nets season ticket holder in 1998 when the Nets played in [[Continental Airlines Arena]]. He is known for his signature "whammy", a practice in which he stands on the sidelines in view of opposing players while they are attempting free throws and tries to distract them with pointing, jumping, and yelling. Reznick will not "whammy" players that have previously played for the Nets. Reznick believes the practice is effective as [[Barclays Center]] often has one of the lowest opposing team free throw percentages in the league. For example, by January 11, 2023, opposing teams had only a 70.3 free throw shot percentage in Brooklyn, which was about eight points lower than league average for the [[2022–23 NBA season]]. Before Reznick was given the name "Mr. Whammy" by Nets broadcaster [[Ian Eagle]] he was referred to as "Red Shirt".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Lunden |first1=Jeff |title=Meet Mr. Whammy, the Brooklyn Nets superfan and secret weapon |url=https://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/meet-mr-whammy-the-brooklyn-nets-superfan-and-secret-weapon |website=Gothamist |access-date=January 13, 2023 |date=January 12, 2023 |archive-date=January 13, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230113182434/https://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/meet-mr-whammy-the-brooklyn-nets-superfan-and-secret-weapon |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Meet Nets' superfan Mr. Whammy, one of the stars of Sixers' win |url=https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/philadelphia-76ers/meet-nets-superfan-mr-whammy-one-stars-sixers-win |website=NBC Sports |access-date=January 14, 2023 |date=January 9, 2017 |archive-date=January 13, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230113183133/https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/philadelphia-76ers/meet-nets-superfan-mr-whammy-one-stars-sixers-win |url-status=live}}</ref>
