NBA Finals tickets are always hard to come by so it’s understandable why comedian Hannibal Burress decided to hit up Jimmy Kimmel for a ticket to Oracle Arena for Game 5 of the series.

Of course, the ticket that Hannibal received likely wasn’t the one that he had in mind for a pleasurable viewing experience. Kimmel gave Burress a seat in the upper-upper deck and had Hannibal record his trek to his seat.

The seating arrangement may not have been ideal for Hannibal but he got a pretty kickass hat out of the deal (the fact that there’s literally no one behind Burress who could be bothered by the top hat makes the whole image all the funnier). And hey, at least Kimmel didn’t give him a seat in the nosebleeds facing one of the baskets. That’d just be cruel.
