You know Cedric the Entertainer? He was there, and so were Kenny "The Jet" Smith and Eddie Griffin (not the ball player, the comedian), commentators/celebrity coaches. It was real fun. During timeouts they would start saying stuff into the mike to the crowd, and the Raptor and Eddie Griffin had a foot race! The great thing is the time outs and quarter breaks are the only ones because it's not televised, therefore no TV timeouts.

Yeah, Vince addressed the crowd and said he'd have it for 6 more years!!! And It'd be hard to say my favourite part, but probably either Michael Finley's half-court buzzer beater, Vince's last dunk to cap the game, or Jerome Williams' three 3-point attempts, for sheer comic value.

LOL Man, you know I don't remember everything, the funniest part was probably this race they had, and Cedric teh Entertainer said "The winner of this gets free plane tickets on Air Canada to the first flight ever to Richmond, Virginia", or some other city in VA. I was cracking up right there, and the contestants had to go around the court or something in inflatable Air Canada airplanes.
Anyway if I go maybe we can meet up there.
