Noah continues to be the best.

Last night I experienced an NBA game in one of the greatest seats in all of professional sports. I sat next to the Bulls roster (except D. Rose) for the entire game. Check out my personal photos, videos, quotes and highlights from the night:
FYI – I’m a Sixers fan, and this game was against the Sixers in Philly. The game ended up going into OT but the Bulls won and avoided the upset.
To put things in perspective here’s the view I had of the bulls bench before the game began:

And now the guys are warming up and making their way to the bench before tip-off:

Sweet, Jimmy Butler decided to travel with the team even though he’s hurt:

Funny Jimmy Butler story time:
Within the first few minutes of the game, the Sixers ran a full-court press. Butler absolutely lost his mind and said, “What the fuck? They’re running a full-court press? I’ve never seen that shit in the NBA before. This is why they’re the fuckin Sixers.” He sprinkled one or two n-bombs in there too. It was an absolutely hilarious observation by him. I guess he won’t consider signing as a free agent with us anytime soon
My view of the action on the floor:

Taj Gibson & Joakim Noah rolled in a bit after tip-off since they were both inactive for the game. I’ll have more on Taj later, he’s the absolute man

Coach Thibodeau yells just about 99% of the time, it’s exhausting to watch. Here’s a bunch of photos of him drawing up plays for the guys during timeouts. I had unbelievable access to these discussions, and heard/saw just about every play they drew up:

Taj Gibson – This dude is an absolute class act:
I sat next to Gibson for probably 90% of the game. Our knees hit each other’s countless times by mistake, that’s how close we were. He was super cool, and chatted with me throughout the game. A few of the things we talked about:
1 – Yes, he plays NBA2K. No, he wouldn’t give me his username online, but he did admit that he plays as himself on MyPlayer all the time.
2- He said he could probably play in the next few games, but they’re playing it smart and will probably give the bone bruise time to heal.
3 –He talked about being from Brooklyn and playing college ball at USC. The discussion naturally went to talking about hot the girls are at USC, etc. just funny chill shit.
4 – He was just an all-around great dude who was just happy to be there.
Us asking Aaron Brooks if he liked playing for the Suns or Bulls more. Obviously he said the Bulls, and then proceeded to drop 31 on us:

The Sixers hung around all game and really began to rally late in the 4th quarter. Here’s video of us cheering while Noah & Gibson are getting frustrated watching from the bench:

Kirk Hinrich Getting His Balls Busted Story

Alright, this is downright hilarious. When the game entered OT, the Bulls really started to pull away with it. For players near the end of the bench it was usually difficult for them to hear Thibs shouting for them to sub in. To help fix this, the players on the bench would shout down to the end and tell that player to check-in. Noah fucked with Hinrich at the end of the game, and lied THREE TIMES that coach called for him to check in. It was hilarious, Kirk fell for it every time. Below is a link to the video of Noah trying to apologize and Kirk having none of it.

That’s it folks... A lot more happened throughout the game, but I wanted to share a few of these interactions that I knew you guys would appreciate. Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did at the game.

It's funny everything is pretty tame and that's refreshing.

My uncle once took a kid to a Nets-Bulls game and sat directly behind the bench. He said most of the non-basketball conversation revolved around blow and bitches. In particular he said Scottie Pippen was a severe dirtbag.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

worse. You notice how it seems like nobody really fucks with Scottie? Not even MJ, they'll pose for a pic every now and then but its obvious them dudes don't really like each other. Mike has hired a lot his former teammates but he ain't never gave Scottie a job, lol.

"when I was growin' up if we wanted a jacuzzi we had to fart in the tub!"

another pippen story was from this kid who went to SC and worked at the beverly center in college. he worked at a togo's or some shit and pippen came in. he orders his sandwich, goes to the register and dude is like "that'll be $6.81" or whatever. pippen goes "you're gonna charge me? do you know who i am?" the guy was like "yeah, you're scottie pippen but sorry i can't comp anybody or i'll get fired." pippen balled up a 50, threw it in his chest and walked off in disgust. i heard he is hella greasy with chicks, too. whatever, he didnt make that money for being nice or looking good.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

Was sitting next to a Sixers fan when they played the Nets earlier this year. My god it was hilarious. They almost beat the Nets that night too. We only briefly got into the Eagles / Giants talk, but we switched topics
