My game @ Minnesota.. with a surprise!
The game was wholly unspectacular.. I yelled "welcome back" to Kevin Willis and he gave me a pretty polite smile and nod. He also grabbed what I believe was his first rebound as a Mav in the middle of the third quarter -- or maybe the second. I can't really remember.
Lots of Mavs fans at this game, and I was among the luckiest:  Mark was a big time nice guy, shook my hand and agreed to a quick photo-op. I told him it was my birthday (it was actually Thursday the 12th) and he wished me a happy birthday and told my brother he liked his shirt (which is a pretty funny shirt that just says "I Like Craig" with a picture of Craig Smith's head on it). All in all, a pretty big yawner of a game, but definitely an honor to meet the owner of my favorite sports franchise. Go Mavs! |

Where were your seats, and when did you go up to him to get your picture taken with him?

Very cool. I haven't been to a Mavs game since the home opener in '94. It was Kidd's first home game and 1st tripple double ever.... ironically it was against the Nets.

I met him about halfway through the third quarter (during what was something like a 22-4 Mavs run) during a Wolves' timeout.
And, for the record, I am engaged and Mark is, as far as I know, a straight man.. so the gayness is neither contagious or airborne. |
