It's a surreal experience for an Aussie for sure! Of course, I did have a media pass, met Kobe and got some size 14 Nikes from Ronny Turiaf ;) My first NBA game was also at Staples and your description of how it felt is spot on.

My first live NBA game (or any live pro sports game) was a Raptors game. They were playing the Knicks in game 4 or 5 in the playoffs. It was a ridiculously great experience to compare to TV after a similar 20+ years of fandom without 'being there'. Gratz! Heh, I’m from the east coast of Canada.

CP4, nah, ain't seeing the Cavs. they're the one good team who I'm missing. But i might see them in the playoffs who knows. and Pete, not seeing a game in Utah, but I am seeing them playing Dallas. should be a great game. chucko, i thought about it mate. but i don’t have very good hospital cover.

The Lakers need Bynum to make a good run at the title. Tho with KG out, if the celts get there it might not be that much of an issue. I’m dissapointed you didn’t throw a drink at Artest rob….
