I went to the Oakland Uni stop. It was cool to see the players but other than that it wasn’t too impressive to be honest.
The first half hour was listening to the OU bball coach speak, then the mayor, then they played a short dvd recapping the season.
Then finally they got into it with the players..but not really. Some soft, scripted questions and then they gave away some stuff…and then that was it.
The questions were pretty bad…A girl who had a question for Ronnie Belliard couldn’t pronounce his name which was embarrassing.
