I went to the Wizards playoff game last night with Steve Case, Donn Davis and General Colin Powell. We all sat in the dream seats right on the floor next to the Wizards bench. It was a great environment and the team held a white out. They put white t-shirts on every single seat in the arena. It was a very cool sight to behold when you first walked into the game.
I spent some time with Mr. and Mrs. Pollin before the game started. Abe told me he thought the Wizards would come out strong and play good team basketball to get back into the series and he was right. The Wizards won big time!
When we play unselfish team basketball; rebound; and go to the hoop to draw fouls, the Wizards are as good as any team in the East.
It is clear that Gilbert Arenas is still recovering from his surgeries and that he is a great teammate. He was on the bench extolling his teammates on after he left the game with a small ding in his leg. Also, it was fun to watch LeBron James come down the court and stop and shake General Powell’s hand while the game was still going on.
I was also very humbled by the number of people that came up to me during the game to say “Great season!” and “Thanks for building such a fun team to watch!” Thank you so much.
