2.5 years later, I still get *chills* when watching this video. I know I'm not alone.

BUMP.

Damn other threads bringing down mine.

I vaguely recognize some people from this forum in that video. Who was there?

 

[Buzz Killington]

I had no tv at the time.. (moved into a new place) and there was no 95.5 and 1080 doesnt reach Hood River.. so I listened to an online stream. I remember going in thinking that Corey Brewer was the best we were gonna get that year... and then they Pulled Atlanta out of the envelope and I lost it I ran through the house yelling, and somehow ended up in the front yard.. I didnt even realize we had the number 1 pick until about 5 minutes later.

TBpup from RealGM is there too. hah

That's what I thought. And... Wookie, the bearded guy next to HCP?

 

[Buzz Killington]

I remembered watching it at home alone with 3 of my kids. When we got the #1 pick, I yelled "We won the lottery! We won the lottery!" with tears running down my face. My middle son said "OMG dad how much did we win?!"

the dude falling to his knees, that's the dude with courtside seats in the Roy 3-pointer who jumped on the table I think?

I was just in my office watching on a TV in another room. I was running around the building when we won it all!

I was there, and yes, that was the Wookee. I have no idea if that was HCP next to me. I wish I knew him well enough to say <insert I had sex with his wife joke here>, but I don't, so I won't...
