Playing Tic Tac Toe on the Chicago Bulls' United Center court!

This is me playing Tic Tac Toe at the United Center, on the court, at Game 3 of the 2009 playoff series between the Chicago Bulls and the Boston Celtics.

Unfortunately, the buzz from this wore off quickly, as the Bulls got killed.

And, before you make fun of me for missing two layups, know that the basketballs were over-inflated and were outdoor balls with no grip. Sure, it's still embarrassing, but I guarantee I would not have had the same problems with a regulation NBA ball. But hey, whatever. I know I'm good enough at basketball to make layups. And I won. I guess that's all that matters.

are you seriously claiming that the nba can't properly inflate their basketballs?

[brianlaesch]

@chaz72987 No, I'm not. This wasn't an official game ball. It was another ball. I'm claiming that this ball was not inflated properly. And stop calling me Shirley.

did you really win anything

[brianlaesch]

Yeah, a Bulls long-sleeve t-shirt.

How did you get selected to do this?

[brianlaesch]

Jerry Reinsdorf reads my blog. Just kidding. Got there early and signed up at this table. Basically was just in the right place at the right time.

I challenge anybody on YouTube to a layup contest with a real ball.

[brianlaesch]

Haha.
