    Fellas, sometimes you get lucky in life and work hooks you up with some seriously awesome seats. I've made these kinds of threads before but never for seats like these.

    It was an awesome experience. We got VIP parking so we got to park where the players park going through the loading dock.

    Here are some pics and videos -

    Me trolling Matt Barnes on Snapchat:
    [​IMG]

    Here's a video of Patrick Beverley traveling then passing to Ariza for 3 in slow-mo:


    The best part of the night was when we were waiting for the valet, I noticed Kyle Wiltjer was also waiting for his car (uber?) and I got to chat with him. Super nice kid, very humble and I could tell how genuinely excited he was to be in the NBA. I asked him about D-Mo because I'm a Clutchfan, and he mostly just gave diplomatic answers. It was clear to me that the team has a strict script in regards to what they can say about D-Mo in public.

    He and I are best friends now (yes all Clutchfans are Asian):





    Some other tidbits:

    -Demarcus Cousins is SOOOO unhappy. I did not see him smile once. Calvin Murphy shook his hand with a big smile and tried to talk to him but he was having none of it. Rude mofo, show some damn respect.
    -Someone close to the court behind the Kings bench kept yelling "DEREK FISHER!" *clap clap clap clap clap* whenever Barnes touched the ball and it was hilarious.
    -That white Bentley in the back in the Wiltjer picture is Harden's.
    -KJ McDaniels was in line for his car before us and he rode of in a silver Mercedes CLK (I think?) with some hot young thang.

    GO ROCKETS!

    Matt Barnes skipping rope? There's not enough Rocky montages in the world to make him relevant again.

    Good stuff though OP!

    I was expecting it to be a questionable travel, but you definitely got him. lulz too funny. That's just a killer video. Nice that you got that! Easily the best game action video that I recall being captured and posted by a cfnetter.

    2nd only to the RPD wardrobe malfunction video.

    What was the "script." "Can't say anything at the moment." or did he actually repeat Morey's mantra of "We're in ongoing discussions with the league, all three parties, etc."

    I'd find it very interesting if a player even mentioned the league in his scripted response. And hopefully your answer doesn't derail the thread. maybe put in a spoiler :)

    Well I don't remember exactly but it was something to the effect of "I don't know, we could use him but I'm glad the team is doing well". I was hoping for a more candid response like - "**** this fool, I'm glad he's not on the team, more 3's for me."

    I knew I was Asian, I'm just sorry my family had to find out this way.

    Flipping awesome man.

    Sitting absolute court side like that is like #1 on my ultimate bucket list. Luckiest I've been able to do is sit about the 4th row up behind court side and directly behind charlie pallilo.

    Absolute great camera work also on that ariza 3, props.
