How do I get playoff tickets? It's different each night. For example, in Memphis, Chris Wallace is a very good friend of mine, so he always has a ticket for me in Memphis. When I go to Dallas, I am very well known through the Dallas organization. When he first bought the team, the first Dallas game that I attended in L.A., Mark Cuban came over and introduced himself and referred to me as a legend, which was very nice. So ever since then, we've been friends. In the case of Denver, even though I'm very good friends with the owner of Denver, he doesn't arrange a ticket for me. I'm getting a ticket through a fan that I've met in previous years. I have a terrific relationship with the entire Spurs organization. Peter Holt on down to everyone who works for the team to the players to the people in San Antonio. I've been going there for many years. In San Antonio, they set up a special seat for me whenever I go to the games there that doesn't exist the rest of the season.
Certain players I'm closer to than others. Tony Parker and I have been good friends. We run into each other in France and we always have a little chat before the games. He opened a nightclub in San Antonio now that he wants to take me to after the games, that kind of thing.

I'm sure he's looking forward to this years WCF and I've seen him at the airport several time back when I use to work there.

He showed up in Bill Simmons' latest NBA column too. Definitely seems like a good cool guy... made his money, does what he wants now.

My favorite L.A. Live story before last weekend: A few months ago, a Kings home game at Staples Center started at the exact same time as a Wiz Khalifa concert at the Nokia Theatre, inadvertently creating the single funniest swarm of congestion that's ever happened. Let's just say there wasn't a ton of overlap between the two fan bases. That story got supplanted by my new favorite story about L.A. Live, which happened Saturday during the first of two doubleheaders: Two of my friends caught the Clippers-Spurs game, then found themselves with three hours to kill before the Lakers-OKC game. Hmmmmm … three hours … MOVIE!
They checked out movie theater times and found a perfect window to see The Dictator. So they walk over to the Regal Cinemas, buy tickets, sit down … and who do they see in another row killing time like them? That's right, Jimmy Goldstein, the stylish millionaire who sits courtside for seemingly every NBA playoff game, wears colorful leather jackets, sits next to long-legged blondes and always looks like he just smoked the biggest bowl on the planet. You know,
this guy. Did Jimmy bring one of those long-legged blondes to The Dictator? Of course he did! I'm anointing this L.A. Live's greatest moment ever, narrowly edging former Grantland editor Lane Brown ordering a cobb salad from The Farm of Beverly Hills for 38 days in a row last summer.
Re: who is the old man in the black leather cowboy hat ?
In a thread about him a couple weeks ago, something said he roots for anyone who is playing the Lakers.
