I was at Celtics/Magic in person with a press pass, in the locker rooms, etc. Here are the highlights:
Walking into the arena, seeing a very scrawny old man in a funny looking yellow suit right out of Dumb and Dumber... then realizing its Dick Bavetta.
Not knowing where members of the media are supposed to go, then following a 400lb fat man right to the media entrance and media buffet. (reporters; so much lard)
Seeing how massive Dwight Howard is in person.
Seeing how Patrick Ewing is much bigger than Dwight Howard.
Watching Big Baby Davis shoot jumpers for over an hour before tip off along with many of his teammates.
Watching only 3 guys on the Magic even warm up at all.
Gawking after the starting lineups were announced, when the Magic gave Nick Anderson the mic and had him scream "LETS GET HYPE ORLANDO, CMOOOOON!" The same Nick Anderson who choked away their championship dreams in the 90's when he clanged 4 straight free throws and then had to see a sports psychologist... lets get hype orlando.
Staring in amazement as Perkins gets the ball, travels BAD and lays it in as the whistle blows, all assume travel but instead, AND 1! Dick Bavetta.
Standing next to Rondo in the locker room and realizing he IS ONLY 6'1 170lbs, then watching him grab 16 rebounds among giants.
Joking with a guy on the court before the game about how he didnt want the free Magic shirt that was provided, then having him ask me if I know who he is, me saying no, then him promptly telling me he OWNS the Celtics and flashed me his championship ring, WHOOPS!
Having me tell this same ass-clown after the game in the locker room, "tough loss buddy."
Kevin Garnett is 6 feet 15 inches tall.
Seeing Vince Carter front row in the RAYS hat, then asking him if he's a fan and him saying, "oh yeah."
Seeing Vince Carter front row and watching ALL the groupies/hookers make advances toward him.
Watching Dwight Howard get fouled almost every single play.
Watching Dwight Howard miss almost every single free throw.
The Celtics play GREAT defense despite being smaller at every position.
Brian Scalabrine is a big, fat, pasty white boy who the Magic don't bother to cover and he makes them pay!
JJ Redick, who is pushing 6ft 5, finishes 0-7 with 2 points despite having a pair of twin blondes roaming the locker room with passes that say REDICK on them.
Stan Van Gundy is 5ft 4 250lbs of pure whiny bickering.
And finally, after the game most guys shower and wear towels around the locker room... not Kenrick Perkins. Couldn't wait to be naked. WOOOOORST.
Do your homework please
