Our Big Night with the Globetrotters

Last night the Norhwest Pughs drove up the Everett Event center to watch America's Favorite baketball team, The Harlem Globetrotters. Dad had splurged for courtsides in hopes that the family could get into the act. Anyone remember Mom dancing with the team at the Salt Palace back in the day? Anyways late in the 4th quarter our hopes we realized. Big Easy, the teams showman, came up and asked Trevor if he would like to take a shot in the game. As the Washington Generals raced up the far side of the court Trevor and Big Easy sat back "cherry picking" back at their own free throw line. (Very similar to his dad's offensive moves in ward ball). After the Globetrotters stole the ball they threw the outlet pass up to Big Easy who handed it off to Trev. Trevor took two dribbles toward the hoop and calmy drained and 8 foot jump shot in front of thousands of screaming fans. The place went nuts when he made the shot and the whole Globetrotter Team was jumping up and down high fiveing Trevor. The act continued as the referee stopped the game and demanded to know who Trevor was. Big Easy's answer was "he's my son, cant you see the resemblence." Pretty funny stuff. Big Easy then went over and got Trevor one of his official Jerseys that was autographed by the whole team. Trevor was a true celebrity as we left the arena. People were coming up from all over and saying, "great shot kid." It was awesome and his Mom, Dad, and brother couldn't be prouder of him. The whole family had a great time and we can't wait until the Globetrotters come back to town. Here are a few pictures I took of the evening.
