Title: TDMMC March Madness - LEGENDS - Standing Until Score vs. Green Men Post by: Dave Gray on April 14, 2014, 09:54:19 am OKC basketball fans stand until their team scores the first basket. It's the only NBA tradition in the bracket.
Wiki: The Green Men, known as Force (Adam Forsyth) and Sully (Ryan Sullivan), are supporters of the Vancouver Canucks. They are known for sitting beside the opposing team's penalty box during Canucks games at Rogers Arena with their green full-body spandex suits. The suits are zentai, from the SuperFan Suit brand. Force wears the neon green suit while Sully, the shorter of the two, wears the darker suit.[1] The two were inducted into the ESPN Hall of Fans in 2012.[2] They have also appeared in a Pepsi billboard advertisement, wearing a Canucks jersey.

The Green Men are there the entire game.

The OKC thing will probably live on forever and it's the only NBA team tradition...pretty much ever.

They are a staple of any Canucks' game.
