Sidney Moncrief, Fred Roberts, and Scott Williams were there last night
I ended up skipping it. I just feared I was going to drive almost 2 hours to stand in long ass lines. The list I saw leaked seemed like the usual suspects going to be there where some I have met before. The free throw was appealing for my som but figured that be long line…. Anybody go?
I went. Parts were good and parts were bad.
First the bad... Bucks had "printing issues" so the line to get in went extremely slow as they were handing out ticket vouchers as you walked in and couldn't keep up. Multiple times we just had to wait outside security before they would let people start coming through again.( you think they would have printed vouchers before the night of but thats the bucks for you"
since that delayed everyone getting in the lines for food were quite long as well but moved okay for how long they were. Since everyone getting in was delayed they started the Q and A late. which in turn made them start the meet and greets late.
Bucks totally fumbled the ball on the Brandon jennings line. We were 8th in line and went to the section they told us to line up in and then the staff just let everyone cut in that was already in the seating bowl. People were pissed. It should have taken us 10 minutes to meet BJ but ended up taking 45. And of course right before we got to him they said no more autographs pictures only. Also during that time they took the balls away that were being used to shoot on the court. So there was no free throw shooting or anything. In fact if you even stepped on the court out of line they tried to get you back in line. After we got a picture with BJ on the court we decided to go to Des Mason to try and get one more player before the event ended. We hopped in his line and were lucky to get him with a few minutes to go before 9. The picture with mason is cool, they had a green screen and the Bucks printed it out on a type of sports card looking thing. Nice touch there. They also stopped autographs for him as well. Sucks we got skipped in the BJ line otherwise prob could have met 3 players.
I give the event a D +/C-. They didn't fail it completely but botched it people bad The $10 voucher was light as a buger costs $17 so you could still pay out of pocket (luckily we got extra vouchers )
I wish I could have met Scott williams. Dude is seems very humble, nice and easy to talk to.
