WAIT! WAIT! The MFC was represented!! ME! ME! I got to HUG Brian!!!! [Hug] And it was soooo nice!!
It was a fluke, really! I was there with 12 other fans, we filled a whole row for Brian. But I was the one sitting in the aisle seat with my B&B tour T shirt on, and, well, lol, I had made a sign....
At the time, I was feeling a little adolescent about it, I must admit, but it was sure worth it in the end! (The only thing adolescent about me is my heart, lol)
Well, this Snake guy, the DJ dude, had come up at the bottom of our section, and asked who everyone was cheering for, blue team (Brian's) or white. The whole section was yelling out Blue! There were alot of other cool players on the Blue team in addition to Brian: Lil Bow Wow, Usher, Donald Faison (Scrubs), the 3 OTown guys: Trevor, Dan and Erik, Gregory Smith (Everwood). Anyway, he asks why is everyone wanting blue, and people were shouting out all their favorite players' names, and of course,we all screamed "Brian!" and then I waved my sign which caught his attention. So, he looks up, and sees me and my T shirt and says "You're here for Brian?" And I answered, "This whole ROW is here for Brian!" And with that, he grabs my hand and practically drags me down the stairs and onto to the court! I was like, OMG OMG OMG! the whole way down, lol!
Brian was just standing there having a sip of water and just reached out and gave me a hug! A real nice one too! What a sweetie! I was totally flustered because it was so unexpected, but I did manage to wish him a happy early birthday. He said thanks, and asked me my name (lucky I could even remember that!) and told me he liked my T shirt. I did ask him if he's gotten much sleep over the last 3 months with the baby, and he was so cute, he just chuckled and said, "Uh,no! Not really!" And then that was it, he had to go back to playing in the game. I said "good luck" and don't even remember leaving the court, lol! 30 quick seconds, but ones I will treasure for sure!
