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.

Nice

Waiting for pics

There really is nothing quite like sitting and watching a player you really care about simply go through his basketball work- is there? It has often been my favorite part of a game.

Glad it went so well.

**MoSpur** · 03-03-2009

I'm happy for you D228. I'm glad you had a good time and glad you got to watch and meet the man named Tim Duncan.

we're thrilled for you...

**Spursmania** · 03-03-2009

That sounds incredible. Although I have been a Spurs fan forever, I had not discovered this site until recently. I gathered real quickly how sincere everyone is in congratulating you. You must have deserved it! Can't wait for pics.

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

So did I. Admittedly, I've simply been lurking here for a while and I'm certainly not that active, but it's fairly obvious (even to a casual ST contributor such as myself) that you deserve all the good fortune you get. I'm thrilled for you.

Awesome, duncan228! I'm not sure if you could've hoped for any better, and it could not have happened to a more deserving person on the board. My jaw almost dropped off when I first found out that you had never seen Duncan play before.

Most importantly, I'm glad you finally got to meet him. The signed jersey is a badass bonus, but something tells me that came secondary to the experience.

**Agloco** · 03-03-2009

Good stuff, can't wait to see the pics.

**sook** · 03-03-2009
