Hoops 4 Hope LA Charity Event









Yesterday I was in a Celebrity basketball game for the Hoops 4 Hope Charity event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA. When I first got to the Staples Center, a Los Angeles Clipper executive escorted me through the restricted areas of Staples Center such as the Clippers Administrative office and the basement of the arena and also the Laker and Clipper locker room. Man, my mind was just blown away by everything that was happening, because, walking into that locker room and/or Administrative office was always one of dreams to do and now I have done it. Finally, after like 5 mins of walking around the arena and jumping on three different elevators, I made it to the court. I had forgot how big Staples Center was. I stepped on the finally and I was amazed at how nice the court was. One of my goals in life was to step on a Professional Basketball and also play on it AND win the game the first game I play on the court. I fulfilled 3 of my life goals in less than 3 hours. It was a crazy experience. The celebrity game was so much fun. I met Rashaad McCants, he was a real cool guy. I was a big fan of his College when he played at UNC. The new upcoming Artist California Swag District performed their hit track "Teach Me How To Dougie", which happens to be one of my favorite songs right now because, I love that Doug E. Fresh dance! But I got to give a shoutout to former NBA Player Joaquin Hawkins! If it wasn't for him this charity event wouldn't have went down.
