This is exactly the sort of thing I would do if I were an NBA player (or in general, if I had the ability to command people to act like idiots on my behalf).
For the third straight season, Roy Hibbert is auditioning fans to root for him in Area 55, a section of seats paid for by Hibbert himself to serve as his personal cheering section. Needless to say, for the chance at a pair of season tickets, people are willing to do some silly, silly things:
Pacers.com will have much more video on the tryouts over the course of this week. I see a lot of crazy get-ups and full-body color suits, but is no one going to dress up like Hibbert’s former employers, Entertainment 720?

Seen something that belongs on All Ball? Let us know via email or Twitter.
Catch up on every single game-winning buzzer beater during the season and see how it rates on the Horry Scale.
I think this is a good idea and should be fun for the fans as long as people dont go overboard and be disrespectful. Its nice to see a player take the time and money to keep the fans involved.
Two more steps than last season
lol thats funny
Good job Hibbert. I think more players in the league should follow in his foot steps and give away season tickets in a certain section. I takes a very generous person to make such a gesture. Keep up the good work man!
I also think it was cool that Ben Schwartz from Parks and Recreation auditioned via video with a special appearance by Big Roy
I’ve been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me.
Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will
be much more useful than ever before.
