Before I post pics of my new buddies, I must sound off on something. We got to sit courtside for shootaround and most of warm ups, again. Since the Bobcats played the night before no one came out to shootaround till warm up so we sat on the Magic side of the court. We had waited about 4 hours to for the bus to pull in. Each of the players came out to shoot around like 2 or 3 at a time. They each had their own coach throwing passes to them. Dante wondered if they ever got bored going through this day in and day out. I know that if I never had to rebound for myself, I don't think that I could ever get bored of throwing up brick after brick. As each player came in, they had to walk past us. Now there was a bunch of kids lined up on the railing of the tunnel trying to get pics and autographs. I laughed because while they stood their waiting, I sat there just chilling till they shouted out the names of the people coming down the tunnel. As each player came out of the tunnel and onto the court, Dante and I gave them dap and pounds to pretty much the whole team. Dante and I asked most of them for a pic and most were pretty cool about it except for a couple of guys: Vince and Jason Williams.
We tried to get Vince's attention but he just walked passed us pretending like he didn't hear us. C'mon Son. How could he not hear us?? He walked right past us!!
When J Will walked past us Dante actually got his attention and said "Mr Williams could we get a pic?" He turned around and said "nah" and walked away. C'mon Son. It was still over an hour before gametime. Take 5 seconds out of your time and hook up some big fans of yours.
This was disappointing; I wish that I could have told them that I drove 26 hours and 1600 miles from Canada to check them out. Probably won't ever have a chance to see them in person again, at east not this close. C'mon Son. Show some love. You have the best job in the world. Don't get me wrong, I still love you guys and will cheer for you but C'mon Son. Don't be dicks. Appreciate your fans.
Bah. As long as you guys got to pound with Dwight and JJ.
