So I was courtside tonight at the Garden and it was pretty fucking dope.
Some of the highlights:
• Met Monica McNutt who was super sweet and kind. Told her how much I enjoyed her commentary and that she is always the voice of reason whenever she is on First Take. She asked me my name! She was terrific.
• Ran into Charles Smith and told him wut up lol
• Was 3 rows behind Clyde but way too shy to go up to him. At some point I caught his eye and waved, and he waved back. I’m good with that :)
• End of the game I saw Melo, and after 3-4 drinks in me, I had some liquid courage. Went up to him, told him I loved and appreciated him, and he shook my hand and thanked me. JUST AMAZING Y’ALL!!!
• For anyone who watches/listens to KnicksFanTV, met CP the Fanchise real quick, told him I listened to him and appreciated the work he does. Told him my poster name on his aftershow pods, and he recognized the name! So that was cool.
And ofc we blew out them upstarts by 21, which was awesome. Fantastic night.
I can never imagine spending the kind of dough to sit that close (I’m guessing it was >$2k at least and you probably didn’t go alone) but hearing stories like this makes it tempting next time I have some sort of windfall.
