Kings Game

I usually don't post (this is Andrew by the way) but I had to tonight. I just got back from the Kings game vs. the Warriors. It was already a great day because I received two tickets for free from a friend. So I got to go to a game for free. Next I got to go with David Sudarma and if you know him he likes the Kings also. So it was fun going to the game with him. So we were walking into Arco Arena and I had some Kings worker put his arm around me and ask me to be in a game that night. Me being my shy self I pushed it onto David and said he would love to do it. But after we continued talking David talked me into it. So we signed up to do the Hamster Ball race at the end of the 3rd quarter. So now both of us were nervous like crazy. Then halftime came and the same guy came and got us. He said, "I am going to take you somewhere closer." So to our astonishment he took us to the second row right underneath the basket. That was so amazing being that close to the action. It really gave me a new perspective of how aggressive and how fast the NBA game really is. But on to the next piece. So we have to get into these huge vinyl balls that were blown up with a leaf blower in our faces. Then we were ushered out onto the Kings floor (Yes, I shared the same court as Kevin Martin, Tyreke Evans, Jason Thompson, and Spencer Hawes)!!!! David and I were encouraged to run into each other while navigating around 3 different cones. I was pushed along by Slamson in the back which kind of threw me off balance and gave David the win. But what was great is we got $20 bucks to share at the team store. I was paid to attend a basketball game, woohoo! And then we got to stay seated in our second row seats for the entire 4th quarter and to make it even more great the Kings WON!!!! I am so excited and can't wait to see the video that our friends took of us!

We made it on the highlights...if anyone cares. Here is the link
