Courtside seats are prime real estate in the NBA. They are the best seats in the house to watch a game and are some of the most expensive ones as a result. Nevertheless, they are often still in hot demand.

However, a game between the Atlanta Hawks and Brooklyn Nets wasn’t exactly a hot-ticket item for Atlanta-based hoops fans, as evidenced by the shockingly few people occupying the courtside seats. Those usually in-demand seats were so vacant that a lucky fan was actually able to lay out on a whole row of courtside seats with a handful more to spare.

You'd think that fan had a once-in-a-lifetime experience by getting to lay down right at courtside in an actual NBA game. Unfortunately, he may very well have a few more opportunities to have a nice stretch if he visits more Hawks home games this season.

That’s just the sad reality for the Hawks, who own the worst record in the NBA this season at 3-19, that no one is willing to watch them at the moment. That’s especially true if they’re facing a team like the Brooklyn Nets, who are similarly devoid of any star power at the moment.
