Roy Almost Wore a Monocle at a Press Conference!
Remember when Roy was a guest on writer/comedian Chelsea Peretti’s podcast? (Check it out here, Roy is on at the 38 minute mark.) When the conversation turned to NBA style, Roy decided he would start a new trend and become the first NBA player to wear a monocle. Fast forward to the Playoffs and Roy nearly made the fashion statement of the year by rocking a monocle at his press conference after the Pacers beat the Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Check it out:

What do you think of the look? Is the monocle a new trend waiting to happen? It almost looks like Roy’s monocle could a steampunk version of Google Glass! Be sure to check out more of Roy and Chelsea on the the NBA Hang Time Podcast with Sekou Smith and Lang Whitaker here. Roy and Chelsea are on at the 10 minute mark to discuss their BFF status and break down Roy’s potential as a stand up comedian.
