Everyone remembers where they were on 9/11, where were you and how did you find out about Ernie's firing?

Just sitting at work and got a text from my cousin. My first instinct was that it might be a late/cruel April Fools joke.

I was scrolling-through my Facebook feed and came-across the official release from the Wizards, I jumped out of my chair.

Just surfing the web. After reading the news on this board I went to Discord and told my friends. :D

Laying down,then I search realgm and seen the news and did a double take thinking this has to be a sick joke. I realized it's not and realize we free at last from grunfail. Maybe I wake up from this dream and be miserable again.

Sitting at my desk at work, I pulled up my phone and thought to redirect my thoughts to...the Wizards. I dont know what made me think to do it at that moment. Went to this board, and didnt believe what I read at first. It took about 30 seconds for it to sink in.

Sitting at my desk at work, having a meeting, when my phone rang and it was one of the Wizards ticket sales associates. I politely told her I would call her back but I was confused as to why she called because I told her a few months back that I would not consider buying any more tickets as long as Ernie was at the helm. A few moments late I got a text from some friends and then immediately realized why she called. Lol!
Just let the young boys play! It's truly the only hope at this point.

My first knowledge of it was seeing the Haleluya thread - it was on its 4th page at the time. I was thinking - I hope he wasn't kicked upstairs.

Walking back to my desk, got a text from a friend who's a Blazers fan with 'congrats, it finally happened'

And then I put Twitter and was astounded...motionless... couldn't move... IT HAPPENED.
