And we’d have threads about what went on that night, since so many members of this board could afford the seats back then.
The 90's were really good, too. As far as getting to see NBA action in person dirt cheap.
My all-time best bang for my buck was sitting 1st row behind the Bucks bench when they played Houston in 1993 or 1994. Got to see prime Hakeem up close for $7. That was also the same game where the assistant coaches had to hold Todd Day back from going into the crowd after a fan who was heckling him the whole game. I wasn't at this one, but that was also around the same time frame that Ken Norman I think went into the crowd after a fan. I know you remember well, but the Bucks were really bad in those days and they deff took some heat from the fans.
Obviously, I bought the cheapest ticket to get in the door, then sneaked down. The ushers & security people seemed a lot more lenient about people moving down back in those days if it wasn't a big crowd. They seemed to get a lot more strict during the Karl big 3 era, even the games with small crowds they would make you move to your actual seat if you got caught.
Another time in the 90's before the Karl days I sat 1st row behind the Cavs bench, and the security guy sitting by the Cav's bench told me the people who owned the seats were in a luxury box and not coming down and that it was fine if I sat there.
Those days are long over.....lol.
