Hey guys,

Just want to share what an amazing day I had today. For those of you who didnt know I won an auction to hang out with the South or North AS team from the time they came to the stadium til after the game.

My partner bought this for me as my Christmas present, all I can say is WOW. Had the experience of my life today. Thank-you to my beautiful girl for the present :)

The All Star game and everything was top notch.

From the time I met up with NBL Marketing Manager Sarah who introduced me to the Team South Team Manager Jared who's also the Team Manager of the Sixers felt like I was at home. Jared was the most professional and helpful to me during the whole day.

Could live the life behind the NBL scene. The energy, atmosphere was AMAZING, I nearly pissed my pants and shat them a few times. All the players were extremely friendly, especially Jonny Flynn who acted up for my video, signed my jersey, my bball shoes and a couple of cards for me. Met all the players and trash talked with a few of the North guys.

Andreij Lemanis the Coach of the South team was awesome introduced me to the whole team during his pre game motivation speech. Spoke to me at length several times and made me feel welcome.

Took some pics and vids of the day which I will upload once Ive had dinner, didn't eat all day as was in awe of the experience.

Met all of North and South and my opinions on a few of the ballers changed for the better including one baller who I have hated during his entire career.

Even had Cedric "Brett hold my bling" Jackson give me his diamond earrings to hold during the game.

Feel free to ask me any questions about my day or the experience, players etc.

Finally got the vid uploaded to youtube Here it is.......

 
Sounds like you had a mint time Brett!

Was Jonny Flynn a nice dude? He seems like he would be I've been a fan of his since his 5OT Syracuse game.


Mate one of the nicest ballers I've met, easy going, yet has that cheeky cocky american attitude. Was always willing to sign something and then acted up for my video, about to upload in 20 :)

Can't wait to see!! Hopefully he doesn't go back to the US any time soon.
 
Damn Brett! Nicely done! You seem to have got a fair few photos of that guy in the Rose Jersey though??? Like where's Wally? :P

A couple of those non player faces looked familiar??!!?

Was one Lote Tiquiri? And is that D Mac in there too?? If so... LEGEND!!!

Yeah felt like a Wally with all those players lol. All were nice especially guys like Flynn, Jackson, Seth Scott, Abercrombie and Walker. Coach Lemanis was a top bloke as well.


wendall sailor and lote are the 2 others. Cal Bruton is the other with them.
D-Mac is there too

Looked like loads of fun


Yeah awesome. Lote was very easy to talk actually talked to me a fair bit on the sidelines, Cal Bruton was his usual character self.
 
Unbelievably jealous looks awesome mate!

Since you were there, who did you think should have won the dunk comp? Disgruntled Hawks fan here..... Lol


Who was the player your opinion changed of?

Both Lewis and Hurdle were great but would def say Hurdle. Was surprised Walker didn't do better.

Redhage always disliked it and even thought he was a bit of a wank when I met him again but later in the day had a good chat to him.

Surprising! He is really easy to hate though. Big difference in off the court personalities sometimes though
