Here’s a few pictures from the Suns/Nuggets game at the Pepsi center last night.

It was one of the first really exciting games I’ve seen in a while, which might not be saying much because I hardly ever watch sports. The dudes were playing their asses off and it even went into overtime. It was a late game anyway, so this meant it wouldn’t end until after midnight. Despite how tired I was, I really enjoyed it and it brought me back to the old days when I had the NBA League Pass for DirecTV and watched every Clippers game.

Afterward, me and my peeps (AKA my mom, my good friend Dave and my boss Neil from DFS) went back to say hello to the guys. Everyone we saw from both the Nuggets and the Suns was very friendly and cool, but the highlight for me was definitely Grant Hill.

I’ve known him since I was a kid and my dad was an Assistant (and later Head Coach) of the Pistons. Of all the NBA players I’ve ever met, he is definitely the coolest. He’s like the quintessential role model for how NBA players should be. He’s smart; he’s friendly and polite; he’s charismatic and personable, just an all-around great dude.

After we said goodbye to my dad, I headed home and got about 3 hours of sleep before heading off to work this morning. Needless to say, I’m pretty worn out today. Still, it was one of the funnest nights since the Festival and totally worth chugging Pepsi Max to stay awake the next day.
