UNC NBA Alumni Game

On Friday night, UNC Athletics hosted an event that not many college programs could - an NBA/Professional Alumni game, in which all players had to be currently under contract with a professional team.

Dale and I got a babysitter for the kids and used it as a "date night", although I'm not sure you can call it that when I spent the entire time taking pictures (since we had great seats and I remembered to bring along my zoom lens), and Dale was 4 seats down from me on the other aisle (with the Devers between us), drinking in the amazing atmosphere, particularly for a life-long Carolina Basketball (g)uber-fan. But with 2 children and no grandparents that live close enough to drive over and babysit, we take what we can get!

I must say that it's pretty intimidating to sit down and start to go through 204 pictures to decide which ones will make the cut for the blog, since this is probably the only place these pictures will ever show up (pretty sure I won't print them for the baby/kid albums, which is the only place I keep hard-copy pictures any more). But it turned out to be easier than I thought. Maybe because I realized pretty quickly that it's a lot easier to pick between random basketball pictures than it is to choose between those of the kiddos! Or maybe because I started the process at 9p, determined to finish before going to bed...

So here you go! Just a few of the many shots of the night that I hope capture the excitement surrounding the return of many Tar Heels to Chapel Hill...

I like the guy in the green shirt. What'd he end up doing with his life after he left UNC anyways?
