How to Pump Up Fans at a Basketball Game

Your team is struggling and it's a sloppy game. Fans are sitting on their hands. Ho-hum. Put some excitement in the game for the fans and pump some life into your team. Show some spirit and bring the crowd alive. If planned correctly, one single fan can inspire the entire arena to make a lot of noise, and maybe enough noise to spur your team on to victory.
