Matt Asen was the star from the Pacers' Game 2 win over the Bucks. He created a countdown clock for when Giannis Antetokounmpo was at the free-throw line, then it went viral.
His Pacers fandom all started due to a kindle of kittens, meeting the Simon family in Florida back in 1987. He's traveled with them to NBA Finals games, to England, India, France, and to Indianapolis for countless Pacers games.
He's 72 and not sure how much longer he can do it -- but this is his story.
