Staples Center
by ViTo • April 12, 2007 No commentsSorry about the silence from my side 
; since Christmas I haven’t been around much although I’ve consistently been in front of my computer for more than 5 hours a day for sure. In the beginning I had to adjust back to Irvine coming again from Barcelona and then it soon got busy. But here I am again! The spring break is over, we have a new quarter and I finally have some free time 
.
Don’t feel sorry for me though, cause during the winter quarter I got to do stuff too… et me tell you about the time when we went to the Staples Center. I love sports in general, but back in Barcelona, I played in a basketball team since I was quite young and till college. So I love the game. In many occasions I used to stay late until 3 in the morning (due to the time zone difference) to watch NBA playoffs games. I particularly remember the Lakers vs Sacramento Kings series. It had to be great to be in the Staples center in one of those defining moments when Horry scored a 3 pointer for the victory in the last second.
So, me and some friends bought tickets and went to see a Clippers vs Grizzlies game. Yes, I know they are last! This is a crappy match, but tickets are cheaper and Pau Gasol plays in Memphis, so it works for us. Actually, the game itself was boring and I think we were the only ones supporting Memphis. But I got the Staples feeling . what a great pavilion! In Spain we don’t spend that kind of money in basketball. I’d like to come back to a real basketball game when I can allow to spend a hundred bucks in tickets.
After the game, we went for a walk for downtown LA, and guess what… they were shooting a Jackie Chan movie right there. There were more than 20 police cars alone in the scene, so you can imagine what type of it was… I think it was for Rush Hour 4. I’ll definitely watch it when it to comes out. These things only happen in America…
