Have you ever sat courtside at an NBA game?

[nomoreneveragain]

yup.

The speed and physicality of the game shocked me.

TV does these Athletes no justice

 

[Malta]

Y'all making me want to save up and experience it.

You don't need courtside, you can get a few rows away, the speed is just shocking to be honest. I got to see prime Bron in 07 when they played the Nets in the playoffs, dude seemed like a different brand of Human than me, like a ++++ model while I'm a base model


I want to go check out Giannis, just for the factor of seeing a 6'11" person move like that.

 

[Chris Cool]

naw but sat like 3 or 4 rows behind the basket at a clippers game. this was back when they was trash though, like 02. got laced by the scalpers.

 

[mastermind]

ive sat about 5 rows behind the Wizards bench before, but never courtside.

I also was 5 rows behind the Caps bench one time as well.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Only in pre game warm up.I wasn't all the way on the court, but only one row behind the scorers table.

Watched PJ Tucker hit 25 3's in a row and it had me


Because I'd always talk about how broke his J is when I'd watch the game on TV.

I've been known as a good shooter all my life.Legend on my block

But I've never hit 25 3's in a row.Practice or game(my record is 22 in a row)

So if, by NBA standards, PJ Tucker's a shytty shooter...what does that say about me?

Yeah man, The shyt is insane.

A fukkin bum by NBA standards would absolutely shyt on a regular nikka. Hell D1 cats too.

 

[SCORCH]

12th row

Spoiler

I'll tell my grandkids I saw the first ever unanimous MVP and greatest shooter ever put in work

 

[shutterguy]

Court side watching CP3 and Dwill battle it out. This was when D will was killing shyt in Utah and CP was in NOLA.

shyt is crazy how big and fast them dudes are. shyt humbled whatever expectations I had that I could've played in the league .
I stood up as David West was leaving the court and that dude looked like a wall, and I'm 6'5.

This right here........... I went to a few Cavs games, about 10 rows up, right after we got Kyrie. I'm up here thinking yea I could get on the court and do my thing......

Saw one of the players in the concessions walkway, he was just towering over everybody, I'm only 5'9" myself.

Not NBA related but we went to a few Monsters Hockey games and had seats in the mid section of the Q, when them boys check each other up against the glass you feel it.

I got tickets to see him in two weeks.

Another thing that fukked me up was how tall and lanky the dudes are. I'd see Andrew Bynum on TV and thing he was stocky as fukk. See him in person and he's tall and skinny as hell.

 

[Floyd Pinkerton]

Not courtside but like 4 rows up. This was the year GS won the chip.

NBA ball is insane in person. Monta Ellis's spin move is basically a teleport.

Rondo can scratch his ankles standing straight up (his arms are loooooong).

Steph doesn't look like an NBA athlete AT ALL (physically). He just looks like a lanky goofy liteskin dude.

Klay's jump shot is hella flat. His form is godlike.

Draymond has CHICKEN LEGS. Like they might be skinnier than mine.

Mo Speights is fukking scary looking. I can't believe somebody stole his Bently.

Andre Iguodala is hands down the most graceful human being I've ever seen. He runs on the balls of his feet (almost like prancing) and just floats around the court.

If you havent been you should go. It's lit.

Breh I went to a Nets/Wolves game in like 2009 when they still were at the Prudential Center in Newark, court level about six rows back. Even with two of the worst teams in the league the level of talent on display was insane. You really can't appreciate how fukking tall and naturally gifted these brehs are until you are court level.

 

[ISO]

Never, but I've moved up for shoot arounds at MSG.

I seen Jared Jeffries rain three after three in shoot around and I'm just like this guy is a 25% 3PT and a terrible offensive player in general.

Zyndrunas Ilgauskas looks like a god damn tree. LeBron James is one of the most unbelievable athletes he threw himself an alley off the glass in shoot arounds and watching his head at rim level and arm extend to damn near the top of the backboard is insane. Literally, the perfect mixture of power, speed, vertical leap, body control. His speed on the break looks insane even crazier than TV and I saw this from the top row.

Carmelo Anthony is one of the most graceful jump shooters ever, in shoot arounds his triple threat practices, touch from midrange, and form look like poetry in motion. Raymond Felton is one of the fastest human beings I've ever seen in person.

KD is a legit 7 footer and even though he looks slender on TV, his shoulders are pretty broad and his arms are long as hell.

 

[DoubleClutch]

Mostly nose bleeds for me but I usually end up courtside by the end of games I go to don't ask me how

But the closest I've been to a major game with big stakes was Miami heat with bron and wade pretty much in their prime.

I was a few rows back (before they kicked me out) and it was unreal. Wades game is so smooth for a player his size.

And Lebron looks like he defies the laws of physics when you see him close and how fast he moves high he jumps and hangs in the air while looking like he weights a ton.

If you never seen Lebron up close in his prime with early cavs or the Heatles I feel bad for you, brehs

 

[inndaskKy]

Did this at Staples center twice. First at a OKC/Lakers game three years ago and for a PHX/LAC game later that year.

Even though Kobe, Nash and Howard were out at the time, OKC still had , KD and Harden . Plus the Laker game experience was still

The celebs , The Laker Girls

I talked shyt to the Clippers when I went to that game the whole time. Especially at Chris Paul Fans around me were like

Sat courtside right behind the basket when I went to a Rockets/CAVS game when I was in Houston last year . That was dope. Ushers were dapping me up on how close I my seat was

Howard and Nash weren't with the Lakers when Harden still played in OKC..

Only in pre game warm up.I wasn't all the way on the court, but only one row behind the scorers table.

Watched PJ Tucker hit 25 3's in a row and it had me


Because I'd always talk about how broke his J is when I'd watch the game on TV.

So if, by NBA standards, PJ Tucker's a shytty shooter...what does that say about me?

You a role player

 

[Bernie Madoff]

nah rather bet on it and get drunk in privacy

 

[LezJepzin]

Howard and Nash weren't with the Lakers when Harden still played in OKC..

You were right my bad. But I did see him play at that game in Houston last year WITH Howard

 

[Flywin Lannister]

Yes, best view at a pro sports game I've ever had.

Are you comparing to court side seats of other sports?
