A video shot prior to the New Orleans Pelicans game on Sunday is going viral thanks to one fearless fan just living the dream.

The video shows a fan in a Pelicans warmup jacket walking onto the court and stretching as the Pelicans players are warming up. The fan eventually called for a ball and then took a shot after somebody obliged.

A security guard did eventually pull the fan off the court. While the video does not show what happened to the fan, he did sit down in a front-row seat and it appeared that he was just getting a stern lecture from the guard.

Here is the video, from Dime on Uproxx:
