Jamaal Tinsley said he will stay home more often and take a professional security official with him when he goes out.
He won't be the first Pacer to hire protection.

Reggie Miller began doing so in the mid-1990s after he received threatening phone calls from New York Knicks' fans following his playoff heroics in Madison Square Garden and continued the practice through the rest of his career.

Jermaine O'Neal, the team's most recognizable and highest-paid player, has a bodyguard who accompanies him when he goes out and on road trips. The Pacers have a security official who travels with the team on all road trips.
