Amir 'Aura' Khan, the McNeese State basketball team's manager, has been having the ride of his life alongside his team that has advanced to the second round of this year's NCAA tournament. Khan gained incredible popularity when a video of him leading the basketball team out in a walkout--where he was carrying a boombox and rapping along to the music with the players--went viral.
Since, the Cowboys have qualified for the tournament and given his popularity an even larger platform. Clearly, his fellow teammates love him, too—happy to surrender the spotlight to "Aura" whenever they can. It was Khan who took a postgame locker room interview with Fox Sports, during which players chimed in to express their support for Khan. The team's cheerleaders got in on the action, too, wearing socks with Khan's face on them.
