    Yeah, I've snuck longer lenses in, but that was high-lower bowl....using cargo shorts.

    Nobody even batted an eye. The barrel of the 50mm is only an inch and a half to 2 inches long.

    I probably looked like a complete fool to all the regulars down there, but WHOOOO CARREESS??

    what kind of shoes is Jeremy Lin wearing? they are ugly and look uncomfortable. Looks like those regular nikey sneakers that sell for $49.99

    Yeah. Seeing Spurs jerseys in the Lexus Lounge was a little disheartening.

    He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who wears Lebrons or Kobes.

    Amazing pics. Thanks for sharing.

    I'm always astounded by how massive these guys are close up. Jeremy, who "isn't athletic", looks like he has at least a 30-35 vert. in one of your pics. Then you have Greg Smith who looks like he can bench 300 lbs easy. Tony Parker, who's supposedly short and speedy, looks like he can bench 200 as well.

    Nice. I've paid for good seats before...even 2nd row one time during the TMac/Yao years but never on the court.

    Definitely a different game that close. Great pics too. 5 star thread!

    I'll say, the last Rockets possession of regulation (the 24 second shot clock violation) was SURREAL. I was the first person around me to stand up....so I'm literally standing alone on the court by myself...it was so strange I sat back down. Then everyone else got up so I stood back up.

    Such a strange feeling. Since Jeremy was hunched over dribbling low, I was standing taller than him....on the f****** court!!

    One item on the bucket list is crossed of. That's for sure.

    That video makes it look like you are sitting ON the court like in the tip-off circle. Amazing. And this is with a 50mm lens on a what? 1.6 crop? Crazy.

    Yessir. D7000 isn't full frame.

    Seriously, check it out again tomorrow, full screen, 1080p.

    Had to record it on my knee. Recording video might have pissed an usher off.
