One day I was working in Alaska and a family came into my store wearing Miami Heat apparel. At this time, there the NBA finals had just finished and everyone that came off of the cruise ships wore Thunder hats, shirts, etc. and I was hearing about how everyone hated LeBron the entire summer. Needless to say, it was refreshing to see some awesome LeBron fans and we became friends instantly. The grandpa was hearing a Heat playoff shirt from the series against Boston and I was talking about LeBron's game 6 heroics. The grandpa took off his shirt and threw it too me. He was a stud! The dad pulled me off to the side and said, "I work for the Miami Heat. I'm director of security." Then he gave me his card and asked me if I wanted tickets when they came through Utah.
It was one of the single greatest moments of my life ha ha.
The next February, he sent me an email a few days before the Heat came to Utah and said 2 tickets will be waiting for me at will-call. I invited 2 of my friends and 3 of my brothers. We sat right behind the Heat bench and it was unreal! Seeing LeBron come out of the tunnel was incredible and seeing the game that close was one of the funnest and best nights of my life. I owe it all to my buddy Dave Holcombe from the Miami Heat!
