#1104 - Our First Experience Seeing A Basketball Game in Big Court for Tuesday.

Good morning and a bright Tuesday to us all dear Hiveans around the world! Wishing you a Tuesday filled with energy and the satisfaction. You're doing great things. Have a fantastic day, everyone. Let's make Tuesday count😉.

Moving to our daily shots, once upon a time when the energy outside the MOA Arena on February 1st was electric. We were part of a big group of twelve with my wife, my son Joaquin and a bunch of relatives who had kindly treated us all.

This was the Game 6 of the PBA Commissioner's Cup Finals with the San Miguel Beermen one win away from the championship against the TNT Tropang Giga.

Our seats were way up on the fifth floor which is the famous "nosebleed" section. At around $2 each, the seats were cheap and a steal. From that height, the court looked like a big glowing rectangle and the players moved like chess pieces.

We may have lost the close-up detail but we gained an incredible view of the entire spectacle. We could see every play unfold and the vast, roaring sea of thousands of fans below us.

The game was a tense battle with only a handful players that I know to date. Joaquin was asking questions about the plays. With the game on the line, June Mar Fajardo and his team took over making the crucial plays that sealed the victory.

When the final buzzer sounded, the San Miguel Beermen had won clinching the championship right before our eyes.

We took photos and videos from our aerial view with the crowd going wild and our own family's happy faces framed against the incredible background.
