Madison Square Garden
I got to be in a 3 on 3 tournament last week and the final four got to play in The Garden. My team lost in the final 8 so that is why I am not in my basketball getup. It took me a few days to get over that loss. But it was really fun to go to the garden and actually be on the floor. My field goal percentage at the garden is 100% (I shot one shot and made it). John Starks, a New York Knicks Legend, was there and I talked with him for a minute. He really liked playing with Karl and John in Utah at the end of his career. It was interesting to me to see what people remember about his career. When basketball fans see or think of John Starks, they think of his BIG DUNK over the Chicago Bulls in the NBA Finals. That is a pretty good thing to be remembered for but I just thought it was funny because everyone mentions it to him every day. That's some serious branding power! Take a look at the BIG DUNK at MSG!
P.S. Starks wouldn't give me tickets to the last Knicks game of the season but at least I asked!
Spring in The City
It is such a great experience to be here in New York for spring. Thursday was the first really warm day and EVERYONE was out on the streets. There was a ubiquitous feeling of euphoria and appreciation for the weather among New Yorkers. It was so nice that I strapped on my roller blades and went to some of my favorite neighborhoods. The trees were as excited as the people to be welcoming spring.
Words of the week:
