Was the one of the greatest days in my life. He bought front row seats of one of his rich jew boy season ticket pals and at one point Starks took off on the fast break and dunked a big tomahawk and it literally felt like he was posterizing me, we were that close to the action. As an NBA nutter I begged and begged my dad to get tickets when Scottie and MJ came to town, but he said he couldn't get any - Jordan sold out every god damn arena, every god damn game, it was so hard to get tickets to watch him live. On school nights I used to hide under the covers and listen to the West Coast games on my radio, really low so my bad tempered old man wouldn't catch me, those were the days......
