Los Angeles Sparks

I was lucky enough to be invited to a Los Angeles Sparks game last week and I thought I would share some of my pictures with you. If you know my friend Wendy, you know that she knows EVERYONE. It doesn't matter what state or country she is in, she is guaranteed to run into someone she knows. It's become the running joke whenever we go anywhere together because I always try to guess when the person is going to appear who knows her! Well knowing people got us awesome seats to the Sparks game and we got to park underground at the Staples Center where Kobe or Lisa Leslie park.

Wendy and my other dear friend Suzy are friends with Laura who just became the assistant coach for the Los Angeles Sparks. How big time is that!!! I've met Laura a number of times at numerous Wendy/Suzy events and she is an awesome person and a great basketball coach! I was so excited to go down to Staples and support her and the Sparks!

This is Laura coaching Candace Parker (She's the one sitting with the black left shoulder brace). Candace Parker was the hot pick coming out of the draft this year and the Sparks were lucky enough to sign her. She is pretty amazing to watch. She is so tall and is only one of two woman who can dunk in the WNBA. Lisa Leslie is the other woman who can dunk and the Sparks have her too! Can you say national championship!!!!



This picture was taken during one of the time-outs. Our seats were so amazing. I've never been that close to the Staples Center floor before. I thought we had good seats when we saw Garth Brooks at Staples last year, but these were definitely better. ***Note, Lance did not attend the Garth Brooks concert with me last year. He talks trash on country music therefore he did not want to attend one of the best country concerts EVER! End note***


The Sparks played the Chicago Sky that night (who are in the light blue). They did good, but the Sparks beat them! The Sparks are projected to win the title this year and I would be so excited for Laura if that happened!





Here was the final score that night! The girls did awesome but only because Laura did such an awesome job coaching! Michael Cooper who??? =)



Being Laura's guest for the game that night, you are really made to feel like a celebrity! Valet parking underground at the Staples, (that's Suzy's car behind my big head) walking through the tunnels that all of the great woman and men basketball players walk through and sitting court side to watch the game. Thank you Laura, Suzy and Wendy for inviting me to the game, I had a really great time attending my first WNBA game! GO SPARKS!!!!
