On Saturday, Nov 23, it was cold in Milwaukee (below 20 degrees in the afternoon). I was shopping in the Brady Street area (the east side of Milwaukee, a few minutes away from the BMO Harris Bradley Center) with my boyfriend of 35 years. We saw a tall black guy running by and he looked familiar. I drove by him again four blocks away and realized it was Giannis. I stopped the car, rolled down the window and asked if he wanted a ride.
"Are you going to the Bradley Center?" he asked and I said yes. He was wearing only a windbreaker.
When he got in the car, I said "you need a winter jacket." He said his credit card didn't work & he'd sent all the money to his family in Greece. He thanked us over and over again for the ride. He was running from where he lives ("on Lake Drive," he said). I got an autograph (in Greek!), but didn't think to get a photo (I'm full of regret). Imagine a photo of all 6'10" of him in the backseat of my Honda Fit (incredibly small back seats)!
We dropped him off at the BMOHBC and he said "Thanks, you really saved me!" I was so excited to have him in my car, that I didn't even think to get a photo. I hope he now has a winter jacket and proper transportation.
@Oye sorry non-canadians only. @BobE got it wrong.@Oye if you want to hang with us https://saintsreport.com/threads/2019-nba-off-season-tracker.409359/page-14#post-7617712
Well, Nets trying to make some moves.
Now, I want to add something that has happened off the court during this series.
The Raptors have a Superfan in Nav Bhatia. He hasn't missed a single home game since 1995. Arrived in Canada with a mechanical engineering degree from India, but had to work as a landscaper. Then he managed to get a job at a car dealership and worked his way up from there. He's a dedicated fan who is very kind, very gracious. He runs a non-profit to bring basketball all over the world, building courts and running camps.
Everyone who runs into him, spends time around him says that he is the quintessential superfan (most believe he deserves that title more than Drake). Here he is:
He also makes a *lot* of away games, and went to Milwaukee. His appearance prompted one person on twitter to ask:
So, obviously a lot of people responded to this tweet. A Canadian PM was one:
And a bunch of Raptors fans did, too. But so did a *lot* of Bucks fans:
It was really great to see so many people speak out. I know that sometimes sports can be a pretty awful world. But sometimes, it can be pretty amazing, too
