For the last five years or so, I have been on an adult basketball league.  We play once or twice per week from September to May.  It is my ticket out of the house and a break from my children.

But, last week, I sprained my ankle while playing.  Unfortunately for me, that means I won’t be playing for at least a couple of weeks, but I still have that need to get out of the house.

Thankfully, my teammates have pooled their money together to buy NBA tickets.  They thought that even getting cheap NBA tickets and being able to watch basketball would put a smile on my face.

And they were right.

Those NBA tickets they bought were great.  I had never watched real, NBA basketball in real life.  Sure, it sucked that I couldn’t play, but sitting there, watching the game, was almost as good as the real thing.
