Ace met another NBA basketball star yesterday. Lucky girl.
The man in the black is Metta World Peace, formerly Ron Artest, of the Los Angeles Lakers. The other dude in red is Big Gabey (he's pretty much family now).
Big Gabey and Metta have been hanging out quite a bit, every time Metta comes to Vancouver, at least. Big Gabey sets up workouts and gets guys together for Metta to play with while he's in town. Pretty cool...and they met through Twitter.
Anyways, yesterday Big Gabey texted us and told us that Ace could come up and meet Metta. So we all jumped in the car and hung out until he was done his game and then he came over and talked with Ace.
This time, Ace wasn't as star-stuck. She still smiled like crazy and didn't say much, but she was at least able to answer some of his questions. Much better than last time with Steve Nash. I think she was more prepared.
Metta was very nice and told her to keep working hard (she had been shooting around while waiting for him to finish his stuff).
So, now Ace knows two guys on the Lakers (Steve was traded two months ago)...hopefully we have a chance to go watch one of their games in the near future. How awesome would that be?!? And now with the signing of Dwight Howard...OMG! they are real contenders for a championship next year.
