Good morning. Everyone good? Good. Let’s basketball. I do not have one of the official media ballots for the NBA All-Star teams, and I don’t usually participate in fan voting for NBA All-Star teams outside of joke tweets containing the #NBAvote hashtag. So frankly, the NBA All-Star ballot I’m going to present here means absolutely nothing. It’s just one dude’s opinion. But hey, you signed up for this newsletter, so you must be interested in my opinion on some level, right?
I've wondered about the logistics of banning someone from an NBA arena. I haven't been to a game in a while but I assume they don't ID people to get in. If they're a season ticket holder I spar their tickets could be revoked but that wouldn't stop getting them elsewhere. Is banning actually just putting out a statement for positive PR while figuring no one will notice the same person back on Saturday?
Color me skeptical any NBA team would permanently turn away someone with enough money to sit close enough to affect the court, especially season ticket holders.
It'd be nice for Booker to have something good happen to him for once. I hope he gets in to the real thing.

Good point, and this fan was actually in the second deck, so unlikely to be recognizable as many frequent courtside fans are.
