I am definitely getting old when I get excited about going to sleep. After working very hard, and losing an hour of sleep over the weekend, I was legitimately fired-up that I was going to be in bed by 7pm last night. Well, at noon a friend called me up and asked me if I wanted to go the the Celtics-Pistons game, and insta-refused, because of my-old man bedtime. He says "OK", and hangs up, then immediately texts me "don't want to say this out loud at the office, but these are courtside tickets".
Hmmm, that changes things.
I've never sat actually on the court. I've been ~4 rows back twice, and have found that basketball is infinitely more fun the closer you get, plus these seats are well over 1k each per game, so it's tough to say no.
I went, and was not disappointed. It was a blow-out, but it was a blast because, well, you actually get to talk to the players. I was still a little wide-eyed about it, but my friends were making full use of the occasion, and were jawing back and forth with members of both teams. It was a completely different experience than even just being a row back, tons of fun, and definitely something I would buy if I could afford the 60k per year or whatever it is for each seat. Apparently we were on TV a bunch, but in the highlights I could only see my back, and well I know what I look like so I don't care to look harder.
For those interested, here was my seat:

God, I bet being courtside at a globetrotters game is actually pretty sick though. I mean the dunks were just ridiculous when they happened 15 feet from you, or when guys got crossed up literally 3 feet away; I'd imagine a game that is nothing but dunks and cross-ups would be gross courtside. |

i guess it should have been but that was when i was too young to remember it, just remember the experience being good and getting a trotter bball and random signing after game on court. But again at age like 10 don't remember much. Went to raps game this year, first nba game in like 8 years and it was quite enjoyable. Like 20 rows from courtside, decent enough but i was envious of the courtside people lol. Wade killed Jack on a sick crossover on 1 play, but they are on other side of court.... |
