The boys are excited! For 350 pesos (the equivalent of about US$30) we have court-side seats to see 20 NBA players up close and personal (intimate venue) this evening in the LoboDome.
Our state governor, Mario López Valdez, arranged for them to come down to Mazatlán to play an exhibition game while they are off the court in the US due to labor negotiations. The NBA stars signed autographs and were available for photos this morning on the malecón, and are planning to do so again this evening prior to the game. They also were kind enough to provide free clinics for children here yesterday and today.
Players we should get to see tonight are:
- Eduardo Nájara (Charlotte)
- Steve Nash (Phoenix)
- Jason Kidd (Dallas)
- Paul Pierce (Boston)
- Shawn Marion (Dallas)
- Kevin Love (Minnesota)
- Tyson Chandler (Dallas)
- Marcus Camby (Portland)
- Corey Maggette (Milwaukee)
- Jarrett Jack (New Orleans)
- Jordan Hamilton (Denver)
- Jerryd Bayless (Toronto)
- Earl Watson (Indiana)
- Dahntay Jones (Indiana)
- Anthony Randolph (Minnesota)
- Hyland Jordan (Clippers)
- Ryan Hollins (Cleveland)
- Anthony Tolliver (Minnesota)
- Dominic McGuire (Charlotte)
I’ll give you all an update on how it goes!
