My friend Richard was given 4 Laker tickets and invited me to join him, Wilson and Eric to last nights game. This is how close we were sitting, it was surreal to see the players that near to us. The last time I went and saw them was 1991 at the Forum vs the Bucks. They still had Magic, Worthy, Cooper, Scott and I believe Kareem — one of the best teams to play in the NBA ever. Kobe played well — what was really exciting to watch was them starting to gel as a team. Felt sorry for the Knicks fans in attendance, their fandom looks so desperate — face it, you’re living in Los Angeles and you’re probably as “LA” as it can get. What is a trip is how everyone is trying to somehow exude “success”, regardless of if they really are or not — loving the VIPs in the rows ahead of us, almost all were Hollywood Actors/Producers or Real Estate Developers/Entrepreneurs.

Thanks again Richard, that was a blast!
