Whatever Wednesday - Go Mavs

Our financial advisors  have Dallas Mavericks basketball season  tickets.  Good tickets  and very close great parking. We get invited a few times a year and it's fun.  Lots of good energy. 
The Maniacs crack me up.  These are rather large men dressed in ridiculous outfits - they can dance!  Jelly Bellies flopping. They just have the moves and the gumption  to act the fools. Positive  energy. 
The arena did get loud.  It was a weirdly paced game.  Lots  of fouls, jump balls, foul reviews, and sheer - oh, good Lord, let's get this done moments!

 Prior to the game, we got  to enjoy a talk by J.J. Barea.  Awesome man. He now  lives in Puerto Rico and  hosts basketball camps there.  He  coaches the Puerto Rican team in some capacity. He said he was 5' 10" "on a good day". He was known as a Maverick on the winning  Dirk team who could be fast!!!!

He was "little and quick" in basketball terms.  Now, he stands tall  as a true mentor  - I was very impressed.  Smart, funny, and very positive.  It was a good thirty minute chat.

Then the Dallas Mavericks won somehow.  Whew!  Go Kyrie


PS - they traded Luka... Yikes.  Ignore this post!

    1. Those are pre- game shots. I actually do watch the actual game. They move too quickly for me to get player shots. Ha!
