Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons Hope To Receive Boos From Virtual Fans To Help Them Feel At Home In NBA Restart
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Some cool, new technology is bringing NBA fans into the stands down in Orlando--not in person, but virtually. Each home team can select about 300 fans from all over the world, to log-in, and cheer for their team.
Their images will be projected onto large screens set up in the stands.
It's all in real-time, so fans can react naturally to the plays.
It's unclear how the Sixers will select their virtual fans for each game.
But Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons want to take it a step further.
They said they'd actually like to hear some virtual boos, to make them feel right at home.
