This past weekend I went to my first NBA game! It was the weekend of my son’s birthday and as part of his weekend celebration my son, my husband and I went to see the Brooklyn Nets play against the Philadelphia 76ers.
This was my first NBA game. You see I only started to like basketball a couple of years ago when my son started to play. I would go to all of his games just to watch him. I then started to watch basketball at home whenever my son watched it. I actually started to enjoy the game too. So when my husband asked if we would like to go to a real basketball game of course my son and I both said YES.
I should back up a little here to explain something. Growing up I liked baseball. I grew up in a family that loved to watch baseball and even went to some games. My dad’s family and my mom’s family both loved the Met’s. So growing up I was a Met’s fan. After I got married I was still a baseball fan, but when your husband isn’t a sports fan you tend to not watch any sports.
So here I am now a mother of a son who loves basketball and I end up becoming a basketball fan myself. Not a huge fan, but a fan none the less. I enjoy watching basketball with my son and I enjoy watching him play basketball.
We had so much fun this past Saturday October 10th at the Times Union Center watching our first NBA game together. The Brooklyn Nets vs the Philadelphia 76ers . My husband was kind and bought us some really good seats too. It was a very close game! I would gladly go to another NBA game. It would be very cool if the next one could be at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, NY. Until then I will enjoy watch basketball on TV or when my son plays.
By the way here are the links on Twitter if you would like to follow the Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers .
