______________________________________________
There is no running talk today. Back to regular scheduled programming tomorrow!
I am a *HUGE* sports fan - specifically, basketball.
I've been a Lakers fan since I was about 9 years old.
Basically, I've followed their every move, and been a fan during the huge ups and downs. I adore Kobe Bryant.
Can I get a little heeeey for stalker-like behaviour??
Today was the Lakers game!!
You might have seen the hand-on-hip pose 34583 times already. I'm sorry.
Laker tix are SO expensive, so my mom chose to sit this one out, since she's impartial. She went shopping instead!
It was my dad's first ever NBA game , and the first time for both of us to see the Lakers/Kobe.
Kobe is going to be retiring in a couple of years, so I was just over the moon to be able to experience this!
I really can't believe I got to see him live - it's a big deal for me!
GREAT game, with an electric atmosphere! (uhh..Lakers lost..).
Our hometown Raptors have a thing where if they score 100points, everyone gets free pizza from Pizza Pizza with their game tickets the next day. The Raptors scored 100pts - The crowd went nuts. Guess what I'm having for lunch tomorrow. ha!
Lastly, nothing made me happier than to see how much fun my dad had.
Let's talk sports!!
Favourite sport to watch??
I literally watch it ALL (basketball, football, baseball, soccer, tennis etc). I've been a basketball fan all my life though!
{gotta say, I'm a bit bummed about the Pats losing tonight}
Is there a team you follow?
Do you PLAY any sports??
I used to play tennis a few years ago! (With a coach and everything). LOVE tennis, and very seriously miss it. I'm on a mission to get back to it this summer!
You kill me. So glad you got to see the lakers play, and a win-win since you now get free pizza, eh!? (:
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to go to a raptors v jazz game when I was there, but they always ended up playing each other the week after I left [worst lucky ever!]
Also I only really like basketball. All other sports bore me (:
basketball, my kinda giiiiiiirl! :D
DeleteSO exciting, glad you got to see him!

So happy for you. I was totally expecting to see you and your dad completely decked out in Laker gear at the end of the post :) My family and I are HUGE Steelers fans. I love following the NFL, but aside from tennis and a bit of hockey, I am impartial to most other sports.
ReplyDeleteI used to play a mean game of tennis, too. I have played since and the only thing I have lost is my serve :(
Oh and I LOVE watching the pro runners and triathletes when marathons or Ironmen are broadcast, which is rare.
I cannot wait for the Superbowl!!
Deletei definitely wish more running stuff was put on TV!
I never knew that you played tennis! I can totally see it though, :).
ReplyDeleteI almost failed gym class year after year...but tennis was the only thing I could do - too bad we never played it in school ha!
DeleteI totes do the hands on the hip pose for like every picture. Sorry I'm not sorry haha. Love your dress in that pic though!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had an amazing time at the game!! Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI like watching most sports too. We watch a lot of baseball and football at our house.
nice and lovely photos!!!
ReplyDeletekisses
Not a team sports person at all, except when I watch my daughter play softball and my son soccer - lol! The basketball game looks like fun though:)
ReplyDeleteIf I have kids and they play sports - I WILL be that irritating person who's yelling instructions all over the place.. (because that's what I done my whole life while watching my brother's basketball games!)
DeleteOh wow I love basketball and I even played in my highschool:)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!!!
http://myfashionfoodstyle.blogspot.co.il/
That's awesome you got to see them play...and even more so that you and your dad have a bond over sports! I don't watch sports during the year but I love the big events like Wimbledon/World cup- such a great atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteI am unable to function properly in life when the World Cup is on - it's a GREAT event!!
DeleteAwww how sweet are you to get so much joy from seeing your Dad happy. Best daughter - me thinks!
ReplyDeleteI watched a bit of tennis the other night and forgot how much I enjoy watching it!
YAY for FREE pizza :=)
wow, that is awesome that you got to see the raptors vs the lakers! and free pizza? bonus!
ReplyDeletei LOVE watching sports, started when i was about 12 years old. i like hockey, football, the olympics...i don't watch as much any more, but the leafs will always be my team (yea, i know....!).
happy monday!
hahahah aww the Leafs, I'm always supporting them. I've never been to a live hockey game - that's on the to-do list!
Deletegreat pics :) I'm glad you had fun. I'm not into sorts at all :(
ReplyDeleteDefinitely basketball (or track and field!). I played basketball on high school and my first year of college so it holds a special place in my heart ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is really great for you! I'm glad your dad enjoyed it as well. Basketball is not big at all here in South Africa. Here is is mostly Rugby and Cricket. Our teams are really good and always at no 1 or close to no 1 in the world. Our domestic competitions are also very competitive.
ReplyDeleteOh my word, that is so exciting!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun. I am a hockey fan! I haven't played a sport since middle school soccer, other than running.
ReplyDeleteHockey is baaaack! I just go for all the Canadian teams - hoping the Leafs do well this year!
DeleteThere is something about seeing a live sports event! The atmosphere can't be beat. Bummer about the loss, but free pizza is cool too. Just nicer if they got 100 pts AND the Lakers won. That would have been a win win.
ReplyDeleteBeing in NYC we are Giants fans all the way, and I love the Rangers too. I like hockey, it's such a fun sport to watch! I used to play Field Hockey in HS and ran hurdles. It's still running I know, but is a whole other animal.
whoa, running hurdles is AMAZING I think! that's fantastic!
DeleteGiants are my football team! :) I randomly picked it because I have a (small??) obsession with NYC!
I have a born-and-bred Giants fan in my house, too! Strange for me because I grew up in a house with a Cowboys' crazy fan!
Deletethat's so cool that you finally got to go! i love watching soccer, huge soccer fan. buuutttt i love germany's team, weird i know lol. i played indoor soccer for two years when i was younger, loved it to death!! i as well was very bummed about the patriots losing, once they started losing i watched a little but it continued and i had to change the channel, just couldn't handle watching them.
ReplyDeleteI got into soccer in a BIG way when I lived in the UK for 5 years (you just HAVE to, when you're there!)
DeleteI randomly picked Liverpool as my team and stuck with them. Then, I fell in love with Fernando Torres...then he left in such an awful way. haha! Rant over!
My best guy friend is a massive German fan!
OK, don't hate me, but I love all sports but cannot get into basketball or soccer. Eek. I don't know why!
ReplyDeleteHowever, I'd love to see a Lakers game. GREAT pics!
You get a pass because you have a beautiful baby.
Delete:D
My favorite event to watch is the World Cup, oddly enough. My group of friends really gets into it, and we do a squares game to bet on the whole thing, and to give us a country to root for beyond just the U.S. I love watching football, but I grew up on baseball, so that has a special place in my heart. I love march madness in college basketball, and I get into the NBA during the playoffs, where I root for the Thunder. I keep tabs on most of the sports though, and I like a good story.
ReplyDeleteThat game looks like a blast! There isn't much better in this world than going with you dad to a game.
Thunder is my 2nd fave - what an amazing, YOUNG, and talented team!
DeleteMarch Madness is so, so exciting. I followed Dwayne wade, Carmelo and JJ Redick A LOT during their college years.
Aaaand, the World Cup atmosphere is so electric. I love it.
Yay that is so exciting :) I've never been to any NBA games!
ReplyDeleteFav sport by far is baseball with football trailing right behind it... BUT I love them all - Hockey, Basketball (I am getting used to), Golf, Soccer, Swimming, etc... Happy Monday.
ReplyDeleteI've always liked NBA and wish I hadn't gotten out of it. I want to get back into it but I don't even know where to start! I used to LOVE going to games. I've seen quite a few, but mainly ones that involve the Pacers!
ReplyDeletei'm a college football fan and then i get into the falcons when we close to the playoffs. but it was not meant to be this year. :(
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy football! Roll tide!
ReplyDeleteI nominated you for a Liebster Award! :]

How fun!! I don't follow any sports teams, but I do enjoy going to games every so often!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE football - college and pro, and college basketball. I am so super bummed football is almost over.
ReplyDeleteI played it all growing up. Soccer, softball, swimmer, basketball even a cheerleader! Love sports!
I wish Canadian college basketball was as big as the States - that atmosphere and support is simply amazing! Love March Madness!
DeleteArrgh, I'm so bummed about the Pats! I don't watch all football, but I do have some favorite teams. I'm a huge tennis fan too--still can't wait to see a US Open game! I'm also a huge, huge, HUGE hockey fan--hope I can get to at least one game in this frustratingly delayed season. So glad you got to have a blast at a Lakers game!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a live hockey game - it's on my to-do list!!
DeleteSounds like so much fun! I am entirely sports obsessed. I love college football and the NFL. You can usually find ESPN on one of the TVs at our place :)
ReplyDeleteThe hand on hip pose is ALWAYS the best pose. We follow the Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Sabres, & the New York Yankees. Basketball is the one sport that we don't watch on a regular basis - mainly because we don't have time to fit it in!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Glad to see you had a great time! (Can't say I watch any sports though :P)
ReplyDeleteYour dress is so pretty! Have a great week:)
ReplyDeleteOkay so first off I deleted your comment on my blog (lets just blame the iphone)and so I hunted you down!
ReplyDeleteI love watching soccer, baseball and gymnastics. I'm from Minnesota and so watching the Twins is pretty fun. :) Nothing like seeing the Lakers though!!
aww thank you for hunting me down!! :D
DeleteLooks like so much fun! That is awesome that you get free pizza, too!
ReplyDeleteLike, basketball is my favorite sport to watch. TV - I prefer football!
That's so cool! Awesome that you got to go to a game! YAY!!
ReplyDeleteI love football. LOVE it.
I've never played sports in a team or league but I'll try my hand at prety much any sport and I'm actually decently useful on the volleyball court.
Hello! I just came across your blog, and I love it! I’ve decided to follow you! If you get a minute, I’d love to know what you think of my latest outfit post! While you’re visiting, follow along so we can keep in touch! :)
ReplyDeletexo, elle from Living in Color.
I love watching sports! My husband is the biggest Clippers fan! He hates the Lakers! Haha. Kobe is an awesome Pkayer
ReplyDeleteGreat post, love sports too.We are following you now can you follow us back?Kisses
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT time! I went to a Piston's game one night (Halloween) where they honored Breast Cancer Survivors so my grandmother got to go on the court at halftime. It was such a great experience.
ReplyDeleteI love to watch all football, and the finals of basketball and hockey. I even watch (I know... yawn) golf.
In high school I ran track (high jump), and played volleyball and basketball. I then played basketball in college.
So glad you got to see Kobe!
oh what a wonderful thing to do at the game - that's so nice!
DeleteI watch golf too, I do, I do! It was a big year when Canadian Mike Weir won the green jacket!
It looks like you had a blast! That's such a great experience to have with your Dad!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big Patriots fan so I'm a little upset today knowing that they won't be going to the Superbowl :( ... for basketball my loyalties are somewhat divided between the Celtics and Knicks since I'm from Boston but have lived in New York for almost three years now.
as a laker fan..NOOOOOOOOOOOO, not the celtics!!! hahaaa :)
Deletehaha I am a SPORTS girl too! LOVE watching football and basketball - I coach the girls team at my school...just fun to pass the love of sports along! I'm a Sixers girl for basketball and Bengals for football -- college sports I'm OHIO STATE ALL day :)
ReplyDeleteI have an Allen Iverson jersey back in his 6ers days!!
DeleteI am glad you enjoyed the game with your dad! Sounds like a good time!
ReplyDeleteI am a party pooper to all your questions. I don't watch any sports. Unless the Olympics count, then I watch them all!! :)
Sounds like a fun time! The only time I actually enjoy watching sports is when the Olympics is on. But my dad watches football/basketball/tennis so I'm used to it being on TV in the evenings. Makes good background noise :P!
ReplyDeleteI like Lakers too, but it is because of Pau Gasol, its Spanish player, hahaha.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and leave a comment. Today I have a new outfit-post. Tell me what you think about it.
Raquel.

great post! see how you had great time :D
ReplyDeleteCute shirt!! I wish I could relate to your love of sports, but unfortunately I find them boring and extremely unentertaining :(
ReplyDeleteI've not seen Basketball enough to know much about it, but that's so awesome that you got to experience something you love so much! I always loved playing Football and Netball myself, and Netball is a tiny bit like Basketball I suppose haha.
ReplyDeleteYou look really pretty by the way =) love your top with the belt!

Not a diehard sports fan myself but my hubs loves him some hockey so I totally understand the experience of seeing your sport first hand. Bummer they lost though - always better when they win! I love your hand on hip pose. I gotta try that one myself :)
ReplyDeleteFree pizza? Very cool. I bet once the Raptors were at 90 points, the level of excitement went up a lot in the stadium!
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome! I am a New England girl- so I root for the Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins, and the Celtics!
ReplyDeleteI used to play soccer- and I have danced all my life!
Glad you had so much fun!
ReplyDeleteMy preferred sport to watch is Football. To play? Soccer. I miss soccer!
Oh my god! I can't wait to be running at your pace! Football is my absolute favorite sport to watch! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
