For those of you that have not attended many NBA games, let me explain the phenomenon a bit. There are maybe a dozen regular acts that tour the league performing at half time. I have no idea if they are organized in any way or what. They are very unique acts, akin to stupid human tricks but on a much grander scale. The best act for years was Red Panda. She balanced bowls on her head while atop a very tall unicycle. She stacked bowls on her feet and kicked them to her head. She retired before this season started. Tonight, a new act performed at the Jazz game. He stacks chairs very high on a table and balances on the stack.

It's fascinating to me that a dozen or so individuals discovered wacky talents and how to make a living off of them by performing at NBA halftime shows. I'd like to know their stories.
