An NBA game is never short of entertainment for the fans. First and foremost, the fans witness two world-class teams competing against each other in one of the most popular basketball tournaments in the world. Secondly, the host team constantly entertains their fans during the breaks and half-time. For instance, the team mascots, kiss cam, giveaways, interactions, and a lot more. However, NBA Twitter didn’t take a host team’s decision to provide a meager amount for a fan who displayed amazing shooting skills. Following that, fans swarmed in with reactions on Twitter.
It’s a ritual in the NBA to surprise the fans on the court during the breaks. However, the home team takes the responsibility to entertain the fans with special giveaways and gifts.

During the Friday night game between the Indiana Pacers and the Portland Trailblazers, a fan displayed insane shooting skills. The lucky fan took the center stage during the Pacers’ home game. The fan started off with a free throw and followed with a three-pointer and a half-court shot. According to a video shared by ‘Ballislife.com‘, the fan received $500 for his amazing skills.
However, the fan enjoyed his time in the middle, and NBA Twitter questioned the Pacers management for giving a meager amount for a sincere display of skills. Meanwhile, a lot of fans took to Twitter to slam the franchise. One user mockingly said, “Multibillion-dollar franchise btw.” Another user said, “Pacers cheap AF.”
Following are some reactions from NBA Twitter:
