Ever since I was a kid I've loved the NBA. I think my first favorite player was Michael Jordan. I remember practicing lay ups in my driveway when I was a kid intentionally sticking my tongue out because I thought it would help me make more shots. I was in Clyde "The Glide" Drexler's fan club when he played for Portland. I joined Chris Webber's fan club as soon as he entered the league. My dad took me to a Blazers vs. Pacers game and I was thrilled to see Reggie Miller, Chris Mullin, and the likes compete against Drexler and the rest of the team.
The All Star game has always been a fun event for me to watch...the whole weekend really. Dominique Wilkins vs Michael Jordan in the dunk contest. Seeing all of the league's best players share the court and have fun. I've never lived in a city that has hosted the All Star game until now. And I've never had tickets to go to an All Star game...until now. I feel like an excited kid. The game isn't until February but I know the excitement will be building until then. I'm going to lose it when I go...
Let's hear it for childhood dreams coming true. Chad is super excited.
