o.
Considering that this is my first post on this site, the following message like look like it's some kind of illicit spam-based japery. But it isn't. It's legitimate.
My name is Sham and I run ShamSports.com, the site that Bruno often cites as being the best NBA salary resource on the web. I also wrote a guest post for 48 Minutes Of a few weeks back, turning some bad jokes about Brian Cook into an overview of the Spurs salary cap situation. I am hoping that these two things will be enough to convince you all that I'm not here to date rape you or something.
By mistake, I have managed to land myself two tickets to tomorrow night's preseason game versus the Clippers. And I don't want them. Here's the thing; I'm an idiot.
In the midst of tweeting an assortment of wisearse comments during tonight's Bucks vs Bulls preseason game, I noticed that Blake Griffin (@blakegriffin) had posted a trivia question:
Because of pure luck, I happened to know that off by heart, and Tweeted back to him instantaneously:
I was pleased with myself, like any man sitting up at 3am answering trivia questions would be.
Little did I know that Blake's question was actually part of a compe ion to win tickets to the Clippers/Spurs preseason game tomorrow. In my overzealous nerdity, I'd not read the fact that it was a compe ion, and yet I'd actually won the bas . (It's a rare and special day that you win a compe ion you didn't even know you were taking part in.)
Blake announced my accidental triumph with this follow-up tweet:
As anyone who has read my profile will notice, I live in England, which is about twenty jillion miles away from San Antonio. So this presents a problem. The tickets are no good to me, and so now I had a choice. I could either;
a) Locate, quickly, someone willing and able to take these tickets off of me.
b) Admit to Blake Griffin that I'm a stupid fool who just scuppered his compe ion with prizes, because I didn't realise it was a compe ion with prizes.
Whoops.
Due to the deep shame that B would bring, I have gone for plan A, and am willing to give the tickets to anyone who wants them. Unfortuantely, I don't know anyone in Texas, let alone in San Antonio, so now I've resorted to having to give them away to random people. Worse still, I have to do this very quickly, which allows no time to get picky.
So if anyone from San Antonio has nothing to do tomorrow and wants free tickets to a bad preseason game, then either respond here, email me at my website, or both. And please do it quickly, because I need your real name in order to pacify Blake Griffin and save my own face.
(It's first come first serve, of course.)

I would take you up on it, but i'll be busy tomorrow around that time...
I like you Sham-you're funny... Hope someone can help you out. I am sure someone in SA will be able to go. Would probably help if the tickets can be picked up at roll call.
Good Luck...
Is this like the UK lottery? I will let you know if I can make it once I hear from the Nigerian guvernmint
I PMed you, Sham...I would love to take the tickets off of your hands...
Cool story.
Welcome, Sham.
Dude, you're probably going to kill me, but someone got in there just before you. Sorry about that. I'll understand it if you never want to talk to me again.
Welcome, hope you stick around, I dont live in SA but I'm sure many fans here will jump on it.
single dad here wants to take his 5 year old boy to first game. will post pics to show how much fun we have. pleeeeeease. pm'ed you
never mind. late as always. thanks again. hope you stick around and post from time to time. take care bud.
oi sham
u the guy that sells towels yeh?
Sorry to say to Ivan, pensive and Dro that the tickets have already been taken. Sorry about that. I prejudiced against nobody, and stuck to the first-come-first-serve system, and sadly someone else got in there first. Don't hate me.
WOW... that's just low dudeoi sham
u the guy that sells towels yeh?
I posted this post in the "DeJuan Blair facts" thread, but I was boxed-out into this thread.

no way bud. im gonna make it happen eventually. just can never free up money. besides he was always too young to understand but now hes a little bit more interested. no hate here.thats what i get for checking my myspace.lol
If you're going to take him to a game, this probably isn't the best option anyway. Anthony Roberson and Curtis Jerrells will be going head to head for 15 minutes. That's not an educational experience for any youngster, really. Make it a good one instead.
haha no worries man, it's all good
hopefully you stick around and post more here, you're a pretty funny guy
aaaaallllllllrighty thenoi sham
u the guy that sells towels yeh?
