2014-15 NBA Season

Anthony Davis is unreal. He does everything.

Posting this mostly because I've never seen it before for NBA. Maybe I'll dig into it later, but I'm assuming (Lillard, HARDEN for crying out loud) that it's based on one side of the ball.

Went to the Bulls game last night and got to be on the court for pre-game warm ups. Those guys are so frekin' big up close. Amazing how effortless they make it look. Aaron Brooks must have hit 8 of every 10 threes he shot warming up - I counted 7 in a row at one point. We got to go to half court for a photo taken by the PR staff that they are going to mail (the photographer said Aaron Brooks is in our picture). A few pics (spolierd for size).

Taj shooting a medicine ball. That guys is built like a brick [expletive] house.

Joakim. His side spinning shot is really strange to see up close.

The White Momba back in the house.

Niel Funk and Gar Forman shooting the breeze.

Pau - legit 7 footer. I was talking with the Bulls PR guy and he said their new training facility was a major factor in his decision to come to Chicago. He wanted to live downtown and could train and play games only a few minutes away (the training facility used to be in Deerfield).

Very cool. I've seen Noah shooting that earth ball up close and that is bizarre. How did you get on the court? When you were on the court did you notice any oil they were putting on the ball? Geesh that the sloppiest and most exciting game of the season.

Those guys really are freaks of nature. You remember my son, right? Just a normally sized person - 5'10". But he's built like a linebacker. Look at him and his now wife with Stacey a few years ago:

Stacey is twice as wide as my son. That's a sail he's wearing for a sport coat.

They couldn't hang on to the ball in the first half especially. My friend's girlfriend is in marketing and has media hook ups. She got the passes and seats (10th row) for him for Christmas. Those guys are huge, then add on the pounds like Stacey has and - bam - your son looks like a dwarf. Seeing that pic reminds me that I wore my Bulls hat that I bought at the Billy Goat when we went to a game.

Stacey King's suit coat is the single largest piece of clothing I've ever seen. It's literally two-man tent sized.

Bulls fans are blessed with Stacey (and Neil Funk). My son got that picture taken after the game, and he said he was a little nervous about asking him because he didn't want to have his Stacey bubble burst. If you are a Bulls fan, follow the team, Stacey King feels like a buddy you are watching the game with. He's incredible. My son thought if he went up after the game, when his work was done, he might get a different person.

Nope. Same guy he said. Friendly, funny, outgoing, generous with his time etc...

Stacey talking about a dunk by Taj Gibson after a missed shot:

Uuuummmmmpppph.. He didn't come for the massage, he came for the facial. Wooo - woo woo. That was nasty Funk. Funk, are you excited? Are you excited with the first half?

I'm telling you Stacey King is like having one of my good HS buddies watching the game with me.

I really enjoyed my Bulls experience on Saturday night, but I really, really wish he was playing that night.
