Robert Brown, who I played right after thanksgiving, is friends with Austin, so you never know!

Yeah, the issue with the NBA is it is too corporate. It is an event, not a basketball game. Too many people there that know nothing about the game or the players. Anytime you take a group of people to something they really have no interest in, beyond the party aspect, passion won’t be found. It’s sad.

That reminds me of many a night on the bleachers watching high school basketball back in the day, and I think the passion is why I love college ball but can’t seem to get into the NBA…

That’s awesome Kellie! Great story! Thanks for sharing!

There is just a nice feeling at a minor league game. I went to see the Magic play last night, and just as it was a 2 point game with 2 minutes remaining, I look around and people are walking around, getting out of their seats to take phone calls, etc. Too many people who could care less about what happens, but are there because it is an event to go to. It ruins the atmosphere.

A couple of four point plays like last night though, and the atmosphere comes back from the people that do care. 😀 Without that though, kinda sad.

But it let me unload my 25 years of Angels fan on her, and a ticket to see a local minor league game is usually less than price as a movie. Plus, the 51s have a $1 beer night. Pure win.

Small investment, excellent return on bonding with the Munchkin.
