I was privileged enough to go to my first NBA game last night. Nick Fazekas, #20 on the Mavericks, was kind enough to get me tickets for the game. I can't complain about the seating, they weren't court seats but they were far from nose bleeds. In fact I think they were a perfect level to see the whole game without having to move too much. In fact they were good enough that I got offered $100 from a scalper for them. Thats a first, usually the scalper asks if you need tickets, not if he can buy yours.
Unfortunately for the Mavericks, They didn't win, it was kind of a lopsided win that the scoreboard wont show. The Blazers will be good this year with or without Greg Oden, makes you wonder what he will bring to the team when he is healthy. Fortunately for myself however because the Mavericks were pretty much out of it I got to see Nick get some PT. He only played about a minute but came away with 2 boards and 2 points, not bad for one minute, and a paycheck of about $5,243.90 per game. I did happen to get one of his rebounds and his 2 points on film...so here they are. Click anywhere other than the play arrow in the middle to open on a bigger (youtube) screen.
