Carlos Delfino lives

March 7th, 2008 | Posted by PostmanE

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.
