Thanks, Sam, for the pics of the Wachovia Center. Makes me kinda homesick. Living out here in Los Angeles for my wife. She's an LA girl born/raised and former cheerleader for the Clippers since we're talkin' B-ball. Things we do for love, huh. Miss Philly and Manhattan a lot. Really appreciate the pics!

The guy who would come to the all-star game 3 point shooting contest asking the other participants who was going to come in 2nd! I had a chance to pick up some signed Magic basketball cards from a friend. I was able to get a signed Larry Bird card as well. Had to do it. Since Magic and Bird are such good friends, I plan on displaying them together! Congratulations!
Now this is a story! I really enjoyed reading that one so much that the only way I could respond is with more pictures! Thanks for sharing!
