Today we bring you our tribute to the fan with too much cash, because apparently in a crappy economy people still have money to burn. This explains both early Playoff exits, as well as dropping four figures to lament your courtside seats. The floor view we envy is reserved for: celebrities, the really rich, and of course their entitled next of kin. In some instances you get a mix of all three. This cold reality means you're bound to spot an occasional yawner, or a brat more interested in his phone than a back-and-forth seesaw battle when you're watching the game at home...on TV...for free.
For the rest of us nobodies ground-level is but a pipe dream, a fantasy we can barely see through a pair of binoculars from the nosebleeds. Maybe one day we too can sit close enough to touch the floor the pros play on, see the sweat on CP3's neck, and hear the shit being talked directly from Kevin Garnett's mouth. You might not be there yet, but don't give up. With a combination of hard work and scratch-off lotto tickets, it's possible that you can have enough dough to sit courtside at a game and not even give a crap about what's going on. There's two extremes of fan behavior. One side of the spectrum is this. And the other is this slideshow. Here's A Gallery of Disinterested Fans Sitting Courtside.
Don't underestimate the Knicks ability to outdo crappy play.
"Please do something to get that god damn butt fumble out of the Worst of the Worst."
From player to fan (Note what game it is).
"Damn, folks actually sit around and watch other people do this?"
Reminds us of our Hangover III experience.
Except there's people in back who haven't left yet.
The rare instance where the "disinterested" fans look happier.
Anything that keeps your eyes off the Knicks.
As emotional as we've ever seen Anna Wintour.
"I wish these peons behind me would stop cheering everytime the ball goes through the hoop."
Priorities, man
Tweeting this (and then predictably following up with this) sure beats watching a game courtside.
Honestly, who really cares if the kids are bored?
The wife on the other hand...that could be a problem.
The 76ers vs. The Bucks
Just call it "chloroform on hardwood."
Look right
Curb Your Enthusiasm indeed.
Did you ever see Weekend at Bernie's?
Check that man's pulse.
Lakers circa 2008-10 we might've been upset.
Lakers 2013-14...eh, not so much.
He's explained this before.
Looks like a man getting less action than that Blow Pop.
We wouldn't be surprised if he was coming alone.
Spoiled youngster not impressed by courtside seats, or spot next to the President.
"Do I have to worry about this guy? Nah, that's just kids in the Middle East."
The elephant in the room.
"...We just caught them on a bad day, they're still dangerous. If we play them in the Super Bowl next year we know they'll put up a good fight. Kind of like Solange--oh shit!...I, uh, wasn't supposed to mention that."
