I went to the Phoenix Sun's game Friday night with my friend Janet and boy was it ever a fun time! First, see that guy down there in the purple shirt with the team and the cameras pointed at him? He just won $77,777.00 in the Casino Arizona Lucky 7 shootout. It's a contest they have at every game where the participant gets to choose if they want to go for $777.00, $7,777.00 or the big jackpot of $77,777.00. They get only one shot to do it. This guy went for the big one which is a shot from half court and he sunk it with every bit as much finesse as the big money players! The crowd went wild and the Sun's team came running out to congratulate him. If you'd like to see him take the shot, you can watch this short little video of the event. It will put a smile on your face.
It was also the Birthday of the Sun's mascot "The Gorilla" so all the mascots from all our local teams were on hand to wish him a Happy Birthday.
Oh yes, and the Suns beat the New York Knicks 112-88.
What a fun night.

I think the Suns need to sign Tim up!
I have always said that Americans know how to throw a party and celebrate.
I saw this in a headline but didn't read the details. And you were there! Amazing. Next time maybe you could try that shot?
I wish I could watch the video but it won't load for me :-(
Glad you had a great time, love all the mascots!
The reaction of the Suns players to the fan making his shot was great.
I coulda made that shot.
(Maybe 50 years ago!)
I love all the mascots out for the birthday celebration!
That guy was pretty confident. I bet he put in a few practice hours.
That was a sweeeet shot Sharon, what a buzz! Must admit basketball is the one ball game that I really enjoy watching.
The SUN set on my Celtics a long time ago.
Watched the video, it's was so exciting! Wonder how much he practiced this shot beforehand.
Good for him!
Congratulations on the shooter. That makes for a good day.
I saw that on their Facebook page. Lucky guy.
Much celebration going on this night! That shot was amazing.
