duncan228 Is Going To A Spurs Game

[m33p0]

awesome dude, you are one lucky man

[lefty]

remember the time when you posted something similar and people dumped on you for doing it?

You're right

I forgot how people overreact here

But for the Duncan pic, it's just because she has his pics of him all over (avatar, signature, etc....)

I'm not trying to hurt anyone

yeah, that was pretty bad.

Wow that is so cool! Really couldn't have happened to a nicer person! Last night during the game when Sean and Bill were commenting about the Clipper fans being so sedate and the only cheers they heard were for the Spurs, I just knew it was you

[peacemaker885]

Congrat's duncan228! I was also at the game, first NBA game ever. Shot ton's of pics. My wife saw Sean giving some autographs and having some pics, so I got one too :-) It was a thrill seeing the guys play in person.

I also saw Pops practice early with Chip, but I didn't even see him suit up for the game. I guess we won't be seeing much of him. Anyways, nice to see a lot of Spurs fans here in LA!

I was given a gift tonight. And it turned out to be more than great seats to see the Spurs.

My tickets were at will call, according to the Staples Center info you can't pick up will call until 2 hours before the event time. I was there early, and it turns out I could get the tickets just after 5.

But the doors don't open until 6:15.

I was approached as I was leaving the box office by a nice man who simply said, "Do you want to get in early? Follow me, I'll get you in." I followed him. And I got in.

5:15. Top level of Staples. I ducked into a tunnel just to check out the court before I found my seat.

Duncan. On the court. Running through his game, just a few on the floor with him. Chip, Will, Udoka on the side. Mason Jr.

I was able to walk down to the first row, sit in the seat against the basket, and watch Duncan work for 30 minutes.

A few others came out, Bowen, Oberto, Thomas.

When Duncan finished and sat on the bench I moved to a seat against the tunnel. Oberto came by, signed my Go Spurs Go Banner for me.

And then Duncan came by. And signed the banner and my jersey.

I got Sean on the banner too.

The seats were great, the crowd was great, the game was great. It was wonderful to finally see my team live.

But that 30 minutes was by far the most incredible thing that's ever happened to me.

I've got several hundred pics, and some video, to sort through. I'll put them up as soon as I can.

yeah!

I can't wait to see the pics!

Wow! Sounds like everything you could have hoped for! I was hoping LP would give us Spurs coverage last night since I figured they'd be sure to show a shot of someone decked out in Spurs gear in an LA arena, but alas we got Clippers coverage.

[caribbean_spur]

Congrats! That's really cool!

[GervinGirl]

Congratulations. Stay up there on Cloud Nine and keep savoring those moments.

[Duncan74]

That is awsome Duncan228! I was also at the game last night and I had a blast. This was one of the best games I have been to at the Staples Center. I have never seen so many Spurs fans! It was AWSOME!!! We need to get a bunch of Spurs fans together that live in the Orange County, LA County together and go to a game!!!

[NFGIII]

You rock girl! It was a great game (any Spurs win is!) and sounds like you had a blast. Always great to see your favorite team live. Nothing like it.

We're all waiting for the pics!

[Fernando TD21]

It sounds like everything went perfectly and your dream finally came true.

That's great! If someone deserves it, it's you. Congratulations.

We look forward to see the pics!

I second that.

[romain.star]

i don't know you d228 but i'm more than happy for you. You look like a nice person.
I really hope you'll be able to see more spurs games in the future.
And don't forget to post pictures !!

[BlackSwordsMan]

No mason autograph?!@

[duncan228]

You guys are the best.

The game was great, being able to share it with SpursTalk makes it even sweeter.

Thanks for all the kind words, it feels like ST was with me.

Watching Duncan work alone was so incredible. I hope to see the team again, but I know that was a one time gift.

I promise a ton of pics as soon as I can, here's one to start.

[MoSpur]

Good pic.

I read this with such a huge smile. I know how awesome this was for you and am thrilled you got to be there.

[td4mvp21]

Congrats duncan228, I'm so happy that you got to meet Duncan and witness a good performance by him AND a Spurs win all at your first Spurs game. You deserved it!

[tp2021]

228, did you get to exchange any words with him?

[duncan228]

228, did you get to exchange any words with him?

I managed to say "Thank you so much" when he signed the jersey. He didn't say anything, a nod and slight smile. He wasn't thrilled with his work, his shot wasn't falling the way he wanted it to. He messed around with Bowen when he came out, pushed him into the bench. They were smiling and laughing then, but he seemed a little cranky when he sat down when he finished. He left the court not long after, that's when he signed. There wasn't anyone else around besides me and one other woman that was a Staples employee. He signed for her, then me, and he was gone.

I can see the cranky in the pic, and I was really surprised that he signed. We all know he doesn't sign too much and he prefers to sign for kids. He seemed to hesitate before he came over to me, I expected him to wave it off. I'm thrilled he didn't.

He came out for the game in a different mood. He was light, smiling, messing around with the team, put up a few circus shots. And he played great. (At least in my mind).

He seemed to hesitate before he came over to me, I expected him to wave it off. I'm thrilled he didn't.

He was afraid of your reaction,

if he would not sign it correctly then ... I don't know

[MoSpur]

Again, so glad to know you got to see him up close and experienced what you did.

That's great. I'm so happy to read this

Congrats

[1Parker1]

Aww, sounds like you had a great time! Brings back memories of MY first game to see the Spurs a couple years ago here in Philly. Of course they lost in OT that game

[Slomo]

Congrats!

I'm really happy for you and almost cheered out loud when I read you got Tim's autograph.

I have no problem imagining your facial expression during that 30 minute workout
