NBA news: Pacers fans go viral for exchange caught during Nets game

A couple of Indiana Pacers fans went viral on Thursday night after what appeared to be a rather animated conversation in the stands.

The Pacers were in Brooklyn to take on the Nets in a battle of NBA basement dwellers, but props to the fans for showing out.

However, during the game, there appeared to be an animated chat between a male and female fan, with the male launching into a monologue.

The woman was intently listening and then gave her own thoughts.

“That’s you. What the f— are you talking about?” she appeared to respond, based on lip-reading speculation.

The man almost immediately responded with a face of slight recognition and appreciation at the very least.

An X user claiming to be the woman in the video got a kick out of the viral moment.

“IM CRYINGGGGGGGG I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND THIS IS JUST HOW WE TALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!,” she wrote in a post

At the very least, the latest internet meme was born.

The fans also got a chance to see the Pacers win just their second game in their last 25 contests, which isn’t exactly ideal for tanking.

It’s a far cry from last year’s Pacers season, when they made the NBA Finals, but Tyrese Haliburton ruptured his Achilles during that series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and he’s missed this entire 2025-26 season.

The nightmare for the Pacers and Nets is almost over. The NBA season ends Wednesday.
