Night of Fashion, "A Midsumer Nights Dream."
Thru the courtesy of BWR , Baron Davis And Paul Pierce we were allowed to cover this event also.
Athletics, actors, actresses, singers all getting together for a great cause.
If it were at all possible all those involved with this event were even more open and friendly then the first evening.
It seemed as if they were trying to make us feel comfortable and going out of their way not only to have pictures taken but to talk to as many people in line as wished to talk to them.
They laughed and had a good time while giving interviews out.
What also made this event unique was that those from the party inside kept coming down to where the pictures were being taken and the interviews given to mingle with everyone.
Seems like those at the party were just as star struck as those that pay to hear the records the stars make or the films and TV shows they are in are the NBA games they play.
Let us not forget though that this fun filled week-in had a reason. It was to raise money for charity and continue Magic Johnson's legacy for helping the community.
Baron Davis and Paul Pierce have very big shoes to fill following Magic Johnson but after meeting and talking to these two young men they are very capable and up to any challenge that can be placed before them.
Judging from the fact that after the last photographer left the line, this being me that there was still a line trying to get into the event I would say it was a smashing success.
One other thing that has to be said.
In a time when professional athletics have gotten a bad rap due to misbehavior on and off the field
The NBA players here were a compliment to all professional athletics.
They presented themselves with a class and style and dignity that all could look up to in our country.
Roles models for all to follow.
