Delays in the NBA are no stranger to the league, and they often result from unexpected and bizarre incidents. These interruptions are some of the craziest in NBA history ranging from accidental occurrences to intentional actions and even animal intrusions. Some notable delays include a game that was delayed due to a water cannon accidentally soaking fans, another game stopped because both teams wore the wrong jerseys and an instance where a speaker caught fire in a stadium. In one memorable incident, a player intentionally spilled soda on the court to buy his team sometime during a crucial moment. The NBA has also witnessed games halted due to fan interventions, including fights and even a player-versus-fan altercation over a frosty dessert.

The league has seen its share of equipment-related disruptions, such as broken backboards caused by powerful dunks from players like Darryl Dawkins and Shaquille O'Neal, leading to rule changes regarding rim strength. Natural events, like an earthquake during a summer league game, have also caused delays. Furthermore, mishaps during halftime shows, like malfunctioning fog machines and ring-of-fire stunts gone wrong, have contributed to unexpected delays. Even animals, including bats and dogs, have made appearances on the court, causing brief interruptions. In one shocking moment, a player, Paul Pierce, faked an injury and was carried off the court in a wheelchair, only to return shortly after, revealing it was a strategic delay tactic. The most infamous delay in NBA history involved the "Malice at the Palace," a brawl between players and fans that resulted in significant suspensions and legal consequences. All of these incidents serve as reminders that NBA games are not only about basketball but also a theater for unpredictable and sometimes comical events.
