    I'm curious as to what people you might see if you had the privilege of sitting that close to the court.

    I can't think of many that I have seen in person... I'm sure others could think of some. I still remember when Tom Hanks was in town filming (or promoting?) Apollo 13 and came to one of the NBA Finals games vs. the Magic at The Summit. That's when he delivered that, "Orlando, we have a problem."

    Rusty Harden?

    Could be really important if you have criminal charges against you.

    I was a seat-filler for the NBA All-Star Saturday events in 2006 and there were a ton of celebrities. The closest sitting to me was David Stern. I should have kicked him in the nads.

    I sat a few rows (5?) behind Evander Holyfield at a Rockets game years ago - back when he had 2 good ears.

    You know the one who put peanut butter on Sara Jessica Parkers gums to make it look like she was talking like people...

    I mean regularly. I'm talking about the people you usually see there. The ones with season tickets courtside. Also, does Les Alexander go to all of the home games?
