Don’t get to excited
One of the most exciting and disappointing moments that I have ever had was the night I went to a Celtics Basketball game in Albany New York during the pre-season. I was so excited to go and couldn’t wait be in the arena with the screaming fans and some great basketball. I had recently been paying special attention to a specific player who just came back to the Celtics from heart surgery and was by far my favorite on the team. I was very excited to watch him come back. He had excellent talent with large long arms and could jump through the roof. Jeff Green was a crucial piece to the Celtics team and they were very eager to have him back on the floor. As a family, we had eaten dinner and gotten in the car to head all the way to Albany which is about 150 miles away but I had made sure I brought a sharpie and my Jeff Green card with me. I began to become more frantic as my father had to tell me to settle down multiple times as we began to get closer and closer to the arena. When the big round and sparkling arena came into sight I was going berserk for I had not yet seen my favorite player play a game live with the Celtics. Everything was going great and exactly to plan until we entered the building and the game had already started. We were a half hour late and the game was already in the second quarter. I was so confused because I was sure that the schedule had said the game was at eight thirty not eight. Once we got up to our seats in the upper deck row four seat seven, eight, and nine there were three drunk guys with yet another beer in their hand in our seats. We told them kindly that they were our seats but one of them told us, “Nope you must not know how to read your own tickets kid.” And laughed with his buddies. So we found three nosebleed seats on the back wall that were open and decided to just stay there. From then on the game was great the Celtics were doing amazing even
