Let's get it on

So I arrived at Madison Square Garden a couple of hours ago for the 2007 NBA Draft. And let me tell you, I was a little disappointed.

I mean, other than the zoo of people, the countless parties, a maze of twists and turns and secret rooms, countless TV people cluttered into one narrow area, a 7-foot tall woman, a couple sporting retro bright yellow Clyde Drexler jerseys and the beers I shared with Greg Oden, it was pretty dull.

OK, that last part I made up. But you get my point: It’s a madhouse over here. I’ve been to the Garden many times before, but I’ve never seen it like this. It really is wild. I swear I made a wrong turn and I ended up at someone’s backyard barbeque. But luckily, I made it back in time to hear Dick Vitale quote The Sports Guy, which was interesting.

Anyway, The WaMu Theater is where it’s all going down, but that’s pretty jammed. So I found a work station in the media room, right by where all the press conferences are taking place. Like I said, I don’t think I’ll be able to make any posts during the draft, but let’s be honest: you’ll be watching it on TV anyway. I’ll report back later with all the extra juicy nuggets and some of my favorite quotes from one of the deepest drafts in recent history. Enjoy!
