Phelps came out wearing a gold T-shirt and black pants, but quickly lost both, eventually showing off six-pack abs, a Speedo and his gold Olympic medals stacked around his neck, ESPN reported.

The "Curtain of Distraction" is a group of students from Arizona State University who try to distract opposing teams during free throws.

And distraction may be Phelps' middle name. Oregon State's Stephen Thompson Jr. missed both of his free throws, The Washington Post reported.

The Sun Devils went on to win 86-68.
