On Monday there were some rumors swirling around by the staff. None of the kids knew at all. Until our front entrance was filled with the tallest guys Milwaukee has to offer. The entire Bucks team ducked their heads through our doors. Some had to keep their heads ducked until they got into one of the rooms.
This wasnt a day for them to come and do basketball stuff. They are tired from training camp and decided to have an hour where they didnt have to think about that. If you remember I said the whole team, and I meant the whole team. The superstar Michael Redd, injured star Andrew Bogut, the rookies and veterans trying to make the league. It was great.
They went to every part of the Club. I took 7 foot 3 Ha, an Asian man that every kid thought was Yao Ming, to the cafeteria along with two others who sat and hung out with the kids. One of them even ate a lunch with them. Bologna. Others were in the library helping with homework, in the computer lab, selling candy in the concession stand, playing pool, foosball, ping pong, and even the dancers were here to teach the girls a routine.
They were here for about an hour and ended up with a small talk by Michael Redd giving the normal stay in school type of talk to all the kids.
It was the best because all the guys were just being guys. Although they did have to sign a lot of autographs, pictures taken and news cameras in their faces.
Hopefully it wont be the last time the come over for a visit.
