What was the first full NBA game you've ever watched? Try and

post the season and also how old were you at the time. And feel free to post pics/vid highlights... ;)

I'll never forget the first game I saw - ORL @ IND, January 27th, 1996 (Shaq's last season in Orlando: 1995-'96).

Despite O'Neal's 23-13 double-double, Reggie's Pacers won. I had just turned 9...

thats 10 months before I was born, lol. I don't really remember the first game I ever watched. I just really got into the Raptors to the point where I watch majority of the games last season. Before that I was a casual fan who watched parts of games sometimes but not much more than that.

The first game I really recall watching must have been in '89 or '90. The Spurs were playing the Bulls in Chicago. My uncle has alway been a huge Spurs fan, and I know I watched games with him before but this game was the first I actually remember.

 

I was either 3 or 4 years old and even though I was a Spur fan by default, I just remember admiring Michael Jordan more. At the end of the game I asked if I could get a Jordan jersey lol.

First heat game I went to was in like 2000 or 2001. Anthony Carter as our point guard, and it was against the Cavaliers. I always have this memory of Anthony Carter doing a between the legs dunk or layup, but I am almost 99% positive he did not do that...so my only memory of the game was the team we played and a play that probably didn't happen.
