Graphed the Oklahoma City Thunder as they boarded the bus to the game against the Detroit Pistons today. Of course, the degenerate Cleveland dealers had to show up too. Got the following personnels to sign for me:
guard DeAndre Liggins - 1/1 trading card
head coach Scott Brooks - 1/1 trading card
forward Kevin Durant - 1/1 8 x 10 photo (it was a mad house when KD came out; KD ran with the black Sharpie that their security personnel supplied. Didn't sign for everybody, but glad I was towards the front, so got him on my photo)
assistant coach Maurice Cheeks - 1/1 trading card
TV analyst Grant Long - 1/1 trading card
forward/center Nick Collison - 1/1 trading card
guard Thabo Sefolosha - 1/1 trading card
forward/center Serge Ibaka - 1/1 trading card
Missed out on the following:
center Hasheem Thabeet - 0/1 (ignored)
assistant coach Mark Bryant - 0/1 (got on the bus while Coach Brooks was still signing)
forward Perry Jones III - 0/1 (he signed, but I just missed him being a little bit out of the way)
guard Kevin Martin - 0/1 (ignored)
center Kendrick Perkins - 0/1 (ignored)
guard Russell Westbrook - 0/1 (ignored with his earbuds on)
guard Eric Maynor - 0/1 (ignored)
Jeremy Lamb, Reggie Jackson, and Daniel Orton didn't sign nor did I need any of them. The Cleveland dealers, surprisingly, were a little behaved today. While waiting for the Thunder, saw Detroit Lions' defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and his sister enter, then exit the hotel an hour later. Of course, I didn't have anything for him nor was he going to sign as he exited the hotel and just threw us a "Peace" sign.

Good to see you ended up getting Durant. I was almost pushed over from people trying to get him.

Yeah, I got majorly pushed on from behind as well, but held my ground. I'm glad some of the dealers didn't get him. Serves them well.

Graphed the post-Dwight Howard Orlando Magic at their hotel as they boarded the bus to the game. Got the following to sign for me:
guard Jameer Nelson - 1/1 trading card (almost signed my Glen Davis card too, but told him I only had 1 for him to sign)

Missed out on the following:
head coach Jacque Vaughn - 0/1 (didn't recognize him until he boarded the bus)

Moe Harkless also signed, but I had nothing for him. Al Harrington and Hedo Turkoglu didn't make the trip. Didn't need anybody else. Pretty brutal considering there were only 4 graphers there, but it is what it is.

Did you end up doing the Celtics? Looks like I didn't miss much for the Magic, that must've been rough, especially with the small crowd.

Nope, didn't do the Celtics at all. They're a really bad signing team, so I didn't even bother today.
