The Brooklyn Nets are struggling, they’re 9-15 and in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference. They might be so embarrassing that Beatles legend Paul McCartney didn’t want to be seen there and sat in the nose bleeds.

Or he was just having fun. Who knows why he was sitting up in the nose bleeds.

During halftime, arena crew members were shooting t-shirts into the stands via a air cannon. You know, that annoying point in the game when everyone around you starts jumping up and down screaming for a free t-shirt that likely has a huge corporate logo and a small team logo on it.

Still, everyone seems to be captivated by the concept of catching a free t-shirt, even Paul McCartney. He is standing, cheering and waving to get a shirt shot his direction.

He almost gets one. When it was launched at him he said “its mine.” He genuinely seems disappointed when he doesn’t get it.
