kingfish Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 It is this Saturday at the LA Convention Center. Laker players and legends will be there signing autographs and having fun with the fans, and there will be games and contests. Odom and Artest will attempt to break a world record. Among the highlights? Lakers forwards Lamar Odom and Ron Artest will try to break the Guinness Book of World Records mark of 10 made free throws by a pair in a minute’s time. The record is held by Dennis Cheng and Simone Benn of Britain, set on Feb. 13. All players from the team will be there to sign autographs. Fans can take pictures with the 2009 championship trophy. Notable members of the Lakers organization will also be there, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, A.C. Green, Norm Nixon, Marge Hearn and Jeanie Buss, said the team's director of game operations and entertainment, Lisa Estrada. LA TIMES I will be in attendance for this event on Saturday . I cant wait it looks like a lot of fun. I really hope I get to meet Kobe and get his autograph. Though I doubt I will but it would be an awesome experience. Ill surely get to meet some Laker players though, and hopefully I get to see Kareem. Btw im taking the 3 point shootouts that they will have there, mark my words.

kingfish Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 88 views and only ONE reply? Thats incredible. Well anyways, the event was fun for me at least but kinda sucked overall. Soo many lines and way too crowded, I cut in all the lines though. I won a lot of 3 point contests and all I got was a Lakers water bottle. Anyways, some people waited in line for like 6 hours just to get an autograph usually of just one player. And sometimes the player signing wasnt even that good, it was like Farmar or Walton sometimes. And once your out of line your pretty much done for good unless you wanna wait another 6 hours in the back of the line. People showed up at like 10 am and still waited so long. I played games for a while then told the security people I had a place in line and just left to go get water, they believed me (cause of my awesome acting skills ) and I got in a decent spot. I STILL ended up waiting for 2 hours, but then the good players started coming out. I ended up getting Ron Artest's autograph, I was kinda bummbed cause a little bit later Pau and Odom were signing at the same time, and that would have been awesome, but its just luck of the draw I guess. Heres a pic of the autograph Artest gave me, not even sure if I should share my experience cause it wasnt all that great talking to him for a few seconds and not sure anyone here will even reply or care http://i40.tinypic.com/14wb0qc.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/rkn1wn.jpg Theres one of Ron while I was up close. I havent read one good review of the event so far, on any Laker forum or site. But Odom and Shannon Brown did destroy that free throw world record. Though I didnt see it cause....it was too crowded and the line was too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfish Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks for all the replys. I dont think id get much for it right now. If the Lakers won the championship, and then I sold it, I could probably get a lot for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJNJ Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I've heard so many negative comments about this Fan Jam lol like how it was not organized at all. Kinda glad I didn't go, knowing it'll definitely be tough to get autographs at events like this. Is Fiesta Lakers the same way? I had been wanting to go, whenever it was at the Anaheim Convention Center, but never got to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
