I'm going to the celtics/clippers game on feb 26. Can anyone suggest the best seats to get if you're trying to get near enough to the court/tunnel during practice to where you might actually get a chance to snag an autograph. I have heard its usually easier to get the visiting teams autograph anyways.


Any advice on what I can do to increase my odds of getting one or two signatures? (aside from bringing my kids, cuz they're comin and they are cute and love rondo! lol)
Andy Bernard doesnt lose constests. He wins them, or he quits them because they're unfair.

I mean I realize if I am lucky enough to get one, it'll probably be gody or erden, but heck i'd take it :P

From my own experiences for getting an athletes'autograph ive broken the ice with the help first to ask the player for me.In other words ask one of the guys that sit behind the players and if he is reasonable he just might hook you up.Kids usually work with athletes who have kids of their own and guys that love children.Ive heard of some hard cases like Ewing in his day that no matter who it was his answer was always sarcastic.

I have accumulated over 400 autographs between the NBA&NFL over a 20yr.period and a good amount were gotten using the middle man approach.

Im the proud owner of a couple MJ autographs when he was playing for both the Bulls&Wizards.Ive gotten many Celtics autographs over the years too.
