Just won tickets to the Draft tomorrow night from Dan Gilberts son, Nick (the one who represented the Cavs at the lottery) in a twitter contest. Leaving tomorrow to road-trip to Jersey! (About 9 hours away from where I live). Has anyone ever been to an NBA draft before? If so what should I expect? Thanks fellas! :dribble:

@Warren - Good idea. Hopefully Stephen A. is there.

 

@RD - Thanks man. And maybe I'll try to start a LeBron sucks chant when the Cavs are on the clock. I'm sure everyone will join in with me. :lol:

 

@Smitty - Hey that's only an hour extra drive for me, (16hour and 56min drive for me without Willingboro, 18 hour with), so I may just stop by. :drunk:

Too bad it's in *insert Jersey joke* I prolly would have went myself if it was at MSG, but I don't cross barriers, even for just 10-20 miles :glasses:

Won tickets? They're like $10

 

Did he include travel fare?

 

Either way, have fun! Expect a lot of rowdy Knicks fans if they pick an unfavorable guy haha

Just got back from Jersey. Incredible trip. Amazing memories. This is something ALL basketball fans have to do at least ONCE in their lives. So much fun. Like I said I won tickets from Nick Gilbert (He had 15 tickets to give away, 6 sets of 2 and 1 set of 3), and they were all together so I was with a bunch of Cavs fans, that made it just that much better. I'll have pictures uploaded in a bit and post them.

 

@ RD - Yeah man I was on TV 3 or 4 times I think, haha. Once during the Cavs first pick, once while they were interviewing Kyrie after we picked him, and twice after the Justin Harper pick. It was awesome. I have it DVR'd. Maybe I'll upload them too, haha. :lol:

Cavs on the clock! (In the 2nd round, haha).

The crew again. This was pretty much as soon as the doors open, that's why there are so many empty seats.

Right before the draft started.

 

Also here is a vid of me on TV, haha.

Right around the 2:48 mark. I'm wearing the Cavs jersey with the Indians hat backwards. #33 jersey, no not shaq. Just a jersey with 'Hutch' on the back that I got for a gift years ago, haha.

 

 

Oh and I was interviewed by ABC-5 out of Cleveland by Andy Baskin (CF might know who that is) both before and after the draft, not sure if it was on TV or not. I'll try to find the video if it was though.
