BF takes on New York

by Mike Prada on Jun 23, 2010 8:16 AM EDT in Draft

Just a quick heads-up: I'm in New York, where I'll be covering the NBA Draft for y'all, SBNation.com and SB Nation DC. I've got my new Flip Cam in hand and will try to shoot videos in addition to other stuff. It all starts this morning, where I'll be in attendance as John Wall unveils his new Reebok signature shoes. Then, I'll be heading to media day, and tomorrow, I'll be at the stadium all day.

A couple quick requests:

If you are attending the draft, send me an email at mikeprada@sbnation.com. Not only would I love to meet up with you, but I'm hoping to try to sit with Wizards fans right as David Stern makes the Wall pick official.
If you have any requests for any questions, put them here.

Anybody know of any draft parties taking place here in DC???

Seems like at least one bar or restaurant would have something special going on for the draft

Verizon Center

The Wizards are having an event for plan holders at Verizon. You can probably talk your way in if you tell them you’re interested in a ticket plan.

uh oh

I hope Ted doesn’t change the colors too quickly. JW and Reebok seem to have used the Wizards color scheme for that shoe.

Cool stuff Mike. I cannot wait for tomorrow night and your coverage is going to make it that much better. The future is looking great!

You have to hate losing more than you love winning.

flip on the fans

Hey Mike, as far as what you should shoot with the flipcamera, I’m more interested in fan reactions than in stuff we’ll see on TV, like the stage. Reactions to pics, reactions to his shoes, other team’s fan’s thoughts on wall etc.
