Pacemates at Pacers FanJam 2015

ucxx

On October 17th, the Indiana Pacers held their traditional FanJam, a free event for the fans to see the newest edition of the team and whet their collective appetites for the upcoming season. Just like the basketball side, fans could also meet and see an on-court performance of the 2015-2016 Pacemates.

I went through the autograph line twice, and I told the Pacemates that I didn’t like how my first photographs turned out. Veteran Pacemate Arbara joked, “Did I break your camera?” No Arbara, you can bust some moves, and melt some hearts, but breaking a camera is not in the realm of possibilities.

The Pacemates are not the only dancers on FanJam day, though. The rookie Pacers have their annual dance off, in which the dance moves are generally, well, underwhelming (causing mass hilarity for the veterans) compared to their low post moves. Though rookie Joe Young’s performance to “Watch Me” exceeded expectations, the Pacemates still rule the court of dance talent.

Here are photos of this year’s FanJam:
