Pelicans
Fan Loses Shorts Doing Irish Jig
… Fool’s Gold???
Published
The Hawks’ Magic City Night was canceled, but the clothes were still coming off in the NBA on Monday … when a Pelicans fan lost his shorts during a dance competition.
The moment went down during a break in the second quarter of the New Orleans’ home matchup with the Dallas Mavericks … when four spectators were picked to take part in a “freeze dance eliminator” challenge on the video board.

The rules were simple — do an Irish dance and stop in your tracks when the music stops. If you don’t, you’re out.
Unfortunately for one of the competitors, a guy in a Trey Murphy III jersey went full Winnie the Pooh in the middle of his dance … as his shorts fell down to his knees.
The in-arena announcer couldn’t help but laugh … and buddy was ultimately eliminated and left “cursed” by a leprechaun for continuing to dance.

Hilarious? Yes. Staged? It’s entirely possible. After all, pro teams are known to plant shocking moments in an attempt to go viral … like proposals gone wrong or mascots attacking opposing teams’ fans.
If it was legit, we’re sorry to the man for the super embarrassing experience … but he seemed to take it in stride.
Try a belt next time.
