As I have posted before, I know what it takes to be a stalker.
Maybe stalker is a harsh word, but I'm just trying to befriend those that I like and admire!
Anyway, at the Shock games, you can't really meet these awesome players, you just have to photo stalk with your camera.
My poor Shock team, they're not doing too well this season in the WIN department, but they do have some great players and basketball is the greatest sport ever on the planet, so I will support them.
Having a WNBA team in town, means visiting teams with some awesome players. When the Phoenix Mercury came to town last week, this meant Diana Taurasi came to town. I was a huge fan of hers when she played for Connecticut and they went undefeated/national champions over and over.
So, there's Diana (in the middle) on the bench, pre-game, probably asking her teammates,
"I wonder if Ang is here at the game?"
Yo, D, I'm right here! :)
Last night, the Atlanta Dream came to town.....Former OU great, Courtney Paris plays for them. I had to photo stalk Courtney from afar. Momma wanted to know why she didn't get free tickets from Courtney, because she is one of her BIGGEST fans. Sorry Momma, maybe next time.....she didn't hook me up with tix either.
BUT, I did manage to see/meet/stalk Ashley Paris (who also played for OU), Courtney's twin sister, in the lobby while we were waiting in line for tickets. She was very nice and agreed to taking a pic with me.
Also, we ended up sitting near Ashley, and I am no the only one who stalked, wanted to meet her. I saw a lady go up to her and ask for an autograph. Whew, I'm not the only stalker in Tulsa, ha!
The Shock got a new player in the past week, Abi Olajuwon (on the left, in yellow). She also played for OU. And, yes her father is THE Hakeem Olajuwon. That girl is from basketball GREATNESS!!!
I will leave you with this....sorry it's blurry, but this dude was HILARIOUS! He would hold up signs and do a god awful dance of hip thrusts when the other team was shooting free throws. His stomach said "Shocking"......he was quite the character to say the least!
Until next time, peace out!
