Here\u2019s another one off my bucket list! This was a long time coming for me. The last Net game I saw in person was when they were in the ABA at Nassau Coliseum! Rick Barry &amp; Billy Paultz of the Nets were playing against Julius Erving &amp; Charlie Scott of the Virginia Squires! Wow! Anyway, we had floor seats right behind one of the hoops! We had a ball watching the game\u2026 just wished that Kyrie  was there! Don\u2019t really know anyone on the Pacers team except for Sabonis. Nets looked lackadaisical in the beginning but woke up and got the job done. It was nice to see someone getting crossed and hitting the floor in person! Kevin Durant\u2019s crossover of Torrey Craig was epic! And he must\u2019ve slid at least 5 feet after he got his ankles broke! All in all it was a entertaining game and even James Harden finally showed up! I am blessed beyond belief! The \u201c3 b\u2019s!\u201d I truly appreciate life and what it means to be alive! Enjoy and keep a smile for life is really a wonderful beautiful gift!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peace and blessings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/6B8E4B7B-9C65-4F83-A1E4-0C7B1A927FE8.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/6B8E4B7B-9C65-4F83-A1E4-0C7B1A927FE8.jpeg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/6B8E4B7B-9C65-4F83-A1E4-0C7B1A927FE8.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/C844E676-888C-4E5C-85C4-F14FBC327213.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1928\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/C844E676-888C-4E5C-85C4-F14FBC327213.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/walkingdeadman.com\/?attachment_id=1928\" class=\"wp-image-1928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/C844E676-888C-4E5C-85C4-F14FBC327213.jpeg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/C844E676-888C-4E5C-85C4-F14FBC327213.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1284\" height=\"2778\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/14C40D19-3FBC-419E-8BDF-A4D4E7FBA81A.png?fit=473%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1929\" data-link=\"https:\/\/walkingdeadman.com\/?attachment_id=1929\" class=\"wp-image-1929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/14C40D19-3FBC-419E-8BDF-A4D4E7FBA81A.png?w=1284&amp;ssl=1 1284w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/14C40D19-3FBC-419E-8BDF-A4D4E7FBA81A.png?resize=139%2C300&amp;ssl=1 139w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/14C40D19-3FBC-419E-8BDF-A4D4E7FBA81A.png?resize=473%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 473w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/14C40D19-3FBC-419E-8BDF-A4D4E7FBA81A.png?resize=768%2C1662&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/14C40D19-3FBC-419E-8BDF-A4D4E7FBA81A.png?resize=710%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 710w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/14C40D19-3FBC-419E-8BDF-A4D4E7FBA81A.png?resize=947%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 947w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to a Nets basketball game with my brother on Friday.
