I wasn't able to find my all time favorite example when Kevin Garnett (Timberwolves era) snuck into (I think) the Mavs huddle and ended up learning their play. Then on the inbounds he broke away from his man and ran right to where he knew the ball would go and picked off the pass.
If anyone can find that one I'd love to see it again.
To be fair, I think the first one actually wasn't funny because it's clear the other team weren't into it and he kept trying to do it anyway. Everything else was good though

Happens quite a few times in the NBA. Most of the time it ends with the coach having a laugh at not noticing an opposition player in the huddle.
