| - After living in Phoenix for three and a half years, last night was the first time I made it to a Sun's game. There are many reasons, but I will name a few. First, they have perpetually sucked. Sporting events aren't very entertaining when the home crowd doesn't put on a good show. Second, pro basketball is probably fourth on my list of favorite sports to watch. Third, until recently, this part of downtown Phoenix wasn't necessarily a great place to spend a Friday night.
I can say that I had a blast last night. The team played great, and they were playing the Mavericks so I got to see Mark Cuban (probably my favorite entrepeneur from Shark Tank) cheer his team on to the slim victory. The concessions were reasonable, but not as well priced as at the Diamondbacks games, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
I would say outside of the game, the highlight was hands down the "Dancing Dads" - or 25 overweight white guys dancing to hip hop in t-shirts and shorts. Without a question, the most awkward white guys twerking in unison I've ever seen. The kiss cam is always entertaining, and it seemed like the entire crowd had a great time. If you live in Phoenix, and you enjoy people watching, you should go see a game or two, I had a great time!
