Carlos Delfino lives

delfino.jpg

Thanks to commenter GK (who, wouldn’t you know it, is R’s roommate) I had the privilege of attending the Bulls-Cavs game at the United Center last night. All in all, it was a great night. The Bulls won. Lebron was amazing. It only took us like 15 minutes to find a cab home. I saw a friend from high school I haven’t seen in forever. And none of you care. Anyway, it was fun. Fun night.

But the highlight was the above photo. The barriers to this photo existing are numerous: The fact that Carlos Delfino is a fringe-ish NBA player, and thus is not the type of player with readily available jerseys; the fact that the game was a Bulls-Cavs one in Chicago; the idea that someone would actually want to sport a Carlos Delfino jersey; the fact that there are probably seven players on Detroit whose jersey I’d rather have, and so forth. Despite all that, there he was, right in front of me in line for souvenirs. I still have no idea what to make of this.

    Tom Dore sitting behind us was pretty sweet too.

    Two part question: Was Dore really behind you - and if so, how drunk was he? Him and Red Kerr play HORSE with shots of alcohol in their hotel room i heard. Also…who is this high school friend? If it was anybody but our favorite Rivers Cuomo look-alike, then i don’t care.

    Anyone who goes to game wearing team gear of team that is not playing is a freaking tool.

    Wear the home team’s colors. Wear the road team’s colors. But don’t wear a Detroit jersey at a Bulls/Cavs game.

    What about the fact that Delfino doesn’t even play for the Pistons this season? He’s a Raptor now.
