Meeting Troy Aikman
Speaking of my very first NBA game, I wanted to share with you one of the best moments of my life.
The night I met Troy Aikman.
In 2008, I was invited to go see the Maverick’s take on the Cavalier’s in Dallas in 2008 with a close family friend.
He told me that Troy attends games all the time and that he might be there tonight.
“You just never know,” he said.
We sat about 10 rows up from the floor and a little bit into the game, it was pointed out to me who was sitting only a few rows in front of us.
#8, the man himself!
I literally tried taking pictures of him from far away, just to prove we were in the same place at the same time.
Well, it got better.
Half time came around and while walking out of the bathroom–there HE was–waiting for his wife to come out.
The fact that he is, and always will be my favorite Dallas Cowboys player of all time, made me extremely nervous to ask for a picture or even say anything to him for that matter.
But I knew I had to, and thankfully–he said yes!
