First NBA game

In the last Wednesday of 2005. I brought my brother, who was visiting me from Macau, to watch his 1st NBA game. It was also my 1st.

There are several professional sport teams in the bay area, NFL Raiders, 49ers, MLB Giants, A's, NBA Warriors, NHL Shark, and formerly MLS Earthquake. I went to watch Giants, A's, and Shark before, but never watch any NBA or NFL game. The main reason I missed those games is because of the expensive tickets. But this time my brother come to visit me, and he is a basketball fan, so I open my wallet.

We left home from San Jose early, one hour before the game. We get to the Oakland area 30 minutes before tip-off. But don't know if it is always like that or we were unlucky. There was a huge traffic jam in the last two miles. When we entered the arena, the game was already in the 2nd quarter. We were pissed off. But when we saw the basketball court and the full crowd, we quickly became so excited and enjoyed the game immediately. It was Warriors vs. Celtics, closed game throughout. It become a tie game with 30 seconds left. Then the arena started to play the Rocky music. Everyone started to stand and yell. Emotion was so high. Then Derek Fisher took the last shot and finished off the Celtics ... everyone in the Arena became crazy!!

Woo! It was a fun experience. My brother loved it. It worths all the money and traffic jam.
