I went to the final Mavs/Spurs game of the season last month with Suresh, Aparna’s cousin in San Antonio, and I had a great time! Going to the game with Suresh is always a good time, but it’s even better when the Mavs win (which they did), but this time, Suresh and I went early so I could try and get autographs from the Mavs. Yes, I am 32 years old.

Ok, so here I am waiting for the players to finish warming up so I can harass them when they walk back to their locker room.

So I did manage to get quite a few Mavs to sign my shirt, but not everyone was interested in signing.

Yep, that’s Dirk signing my Dirk t-shirt while I’m wearing a Dirk jersey. The picture on the right is Jason Terry signing my shirt, and the picture in the middle? Why that’s the Mavs coach, 2006 NBA Coach of the Year, Avery Johnson. He did not sign my shirt. I asked for his autograph, and as you can see he glanced my way. However, that was all I got besides a “Sorry, not now.” I’m telling you, that is one intense man. He was already in game mode and wasn’t about to be distracted by a grown man wanting autographs.

Well, here’s the end result. Happily hanging in my closet next to the t-shirt I have that was signed by the Mavs in 1988 (including little known Jim Ries.)
