Meeting the Grizzlies at Barclays

Last night at Barclays the Nets hosted the Memphis Grizzlies. This game was clearly for pride. The Nets did walk away with a win, 103-94, it was a good fight. Marc Gasol did AMAZING! The Nets are now over .500 and have been on a MAJOR streak.

I had the opportunity to be at the game. Thanks to Jason Wallace, I also got to meet the players post game. I got to speak to Marx Gasole, Miller and many others.

The experience was great and this once again shows how class act the Grizzlies are. It was so nice to meet them and look forward to talking to them soon.

Thank You!

Last nights Courtside Nets game

Me with NBA executive David Robinson

Hi!

Michael Here! Last night I had the opportunity to go to the Nets game,COURTSIDE! The experience was great and I would like to give a shout out to Sruly on getting me the tickets.

So I walk in to the awe inspiring Calvin Klein club and suddenly see the World renowned actor Michael J Fox! He didn't look in a good mood so I didn't bother him but he was there and next to me.

I walk to my seats relax and get ready for tipoff. The game was going well with a very close game.  It's the second quarter and my phone gets a buzz. So I open my phone and it's an email from one of my newest inspirations,NBA executive,David Robinson! The email says "If you get emails during the game please tell me your seat and section ASAP!" I immediately respond and enjoy the rest of the game. The buzzer  beeps and it's time to enjoy the club for half time. As I am walking there David pops out at me and says "What's up!?" He probably didn't realize how awesome timing it was. My classmates were sitting right there and they happen to see an NBA executive walk over to me and start to talk. We spoke for a few minutes and then he gave me tickets to the post game away team meet and greet VIP. I then asked him for a photograph and I see one of the esteemed ball boys and he offered to take the pic. I then took a picture with the Ball Boy and moved on to the place I embarked to go,the Calvin Klein club. I then meet someone I go way back with,exec VP of the Nets,Leo Ehrline! We spoke for a few seconds and moved on. Feeling on top of the world in that club I head straight to the Nets practice court. There they serve unlimited chocolate and you are able to play on the court.

Half time is over so we head to our seats and start to watch the game.

The game is now over and we need to head to our VIP section (Thanks to Mr. Robinson) and who walks out? None other than future Rookie of the year,Michael Carter Williams! He was extremely nice and thoughtful. I gave him my card and he told me he will get in touch with  me for an interview!

I then see Spencer Hawes chilling with a group of people. Everyone around him was cracking up! I went over there and he was hilarious. He kept joking about the Super Bowl and about the Seahawks.  I also gave him my card and he told me he will contact me as well. We walked away back to where we started from and Mirza Teletovic walked out! We spoke for a while,he was SUPER nice! Calm and very friendly. Very nice to see a guy like Mirza on the court with his kids. His kids where playing Basketball and actually scored! Do we have an up and coming Mirza?

D-Will in Fridays starting line up?

ANDREW THEODORAKIS/ NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

The Nets stand on the court stunned after blowing a 103-100 lead with 17.2 seconds remaining.

It has been reported that D-Will will most likely be in the starting lineup on Friday VS OKC. I asked Tim Capstraw about a player feels after the past loss and they said they do get down on themselves but putting him back in the lineup will allow him to gain confidence.

Last nights VIP Nets game

Joe Johnson signing autographs
for fans pre game.

Hi everyone!
So I went to a Nets game and that game changed my life! The experience was so surreal and I still can't wrap my mind around the experience:

So,I get to the game and like usual I start to hand out my business card. So I got to meet Ian Eagle-TV reporter from YES network,I got to speak to Billy King,Gary Susman,Brett Yormark and others.

After the game I started to talking to an executive from the NBA,Mr. Robison. He was super cool and gave me passes to meet the Magics VIP. After I was meeting all the Magics I see him running at me. He starts to tell me "Glad you didn't leave,here,take these passes and go to the VIP club to meet some of the Nets! My mouth dropped and I couldn't believe it! It was insane! A memory I will never forget

Me with Ian Eagle

Goals

Me with NBA legend Keke 

I received 4 emails this week asking me what's my plans for the 2014. So here is the answer:

1) Develop relationships with teams and organizations. I have been in contact with the Mets,Giants,Knicks and others... 

2) Develop relationships with actors on a personal level as opposed to through their PR staff. This will allow me to get advice when needed. I'd like to shout out to: Bill Curry,Gregory Jbara,Cardinal Robbins,Geno Segers,Keke Vandeweghe and many others.

3) Get involved in charity. I am in touch with the Jason Kidd foundation and in the middle of coordinating an event with them.

4) Get in touch with people who do this for a living.

5) Start my intern with TwinAmerica.com as a PR intern.

6) Interview sports figures for this blog.

7) Redo my website and preform SEO.

Thanks for the emails! Please feel free to contact me michael@universalinterview.com

Monday nights Nets game

Jason Kidd being awesome and making a plan
which with Garnett and the team which
ended up making a world of a difference in the fourth quarter

Hello Nets fans! Sorry for the delay in this post. I haven't been feeling great.

I arrive at around 6:00 excited to be going to a Nets game. I was also lucky to be able to have a planned "meeting" with Brett Yormark,CEO of Nets and Barclays. He is one of my entrepreneurial idles.  I also had many other surprises. Look at the schedule below to find out more.

6:20 Walk in Barclays.

6:25 I start to get food for FREE,thanks to our free food tickets.

6:45 meet radio broadcasters, speak to them and relax a bit.

6:55 Dominique Wilkins (one of the best dunkers ever) is talking to me from the court.

7:05 I am watching Joe Johnson shoot around and taking about 80 free throws in a row. He also slapped me five.

7:15 center is starting to get crowded and the players walk out. I try to get Jason Kidd's attention and I got him to look at me.

7:25 GM Billy King walks in and I, of course was in awe. I went over to him for an autograph and a picture.

7: 30 it's right before Tip Off and I thought" I guess Brett wasn't able to come". But I hear "Michael,Michael" being called. I turn around and there is Brett! He was super nice and a really good person. I was so excited to even ask the questions I wanted to. I gave him my business card and he told me he will try to work something out with me. WOW!

7:35 Tip off!!!!!!!

8:30 I see my seats on the screen with a woman and her friend. I then hear them playing-Monsters-IT'S RHIANA! I am sitting two seats away from Rhiana. I got to speak to her a bit and she smiled at me numerous times!


10:00 I got to meet Ian Eagle from SNY!

Nets Beat Cavaliers

One of Williams's top shots this evening.
Picture taken from Nets official photos

Tonights Nets players (Deron Williams – 21,  Paul Pierce – 17, Andray Blatche – 12) scored in double figures.

The Nets had a solid first half where they built a 51-38 lead only to see it evaporate in the third quarter where the advantage diminished 27-16.

Nets regained the win against the Cavs 22-17 in the fourth quarter to close the win.

Reggie Evans scored eight points and grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds for Brooklyn.

This is the only second time this year the Nets have put a winning streak together with back-to-back wins. 

Jason Kidd has done it again!

Mondays' Nets game!

Nets official logo.

I will be attending the Nets VS Hawks game on Monday. I am so excited! I will be there early to try to meet Jason Kidd! He is by far my favorite player ever! I will most definitely post about  my experience. I will make my way around the court,meet executives and celebrities like usual. 

Mondays' prediction is a WIN! I have been rebirthed with new hope and pride after last nights win. Jason did a great job and so did all the players. Williams kept his head up high and Johnson scored final points to win the game with a buzzer beater. 

SEE YA ALL SOON!

Nets tonight

Hello Sports fans! Hope your holidays were nice!  Tonights Nets game will be a real game as the Nets may actually win. I lost hope for them after Brook Lopez got injured but they can still work on themselves for next season

Three new sports interviews will be out  soon!

Tonights prediction WIN!

Nets Brutally defeated by the Bulls

WOW! The Nets failed to execute against the Bulls. Why? The score wasn't even in the 100s for either team. It's really an issue. Jason Kidd is still trying to find out himself. My predictions this season is 1-3 which is an old time low. I expected much more from a starting lineup of 35+ all star appearances.

This is some comments on yesterdays game.

“It’s frustrating,” shooting guard Joe Johnson said about the booing, the loudest and nastiest heard at Barclays Center this season. “But we deserve it.”

“I’m surprised at this season, how it’s played out altogether,” point guard Deron Williams said. “It’s like a nightmare.”

“At the end of the day, the coach can only hold you responsible for energy and effort,” Kidd said. “If you’re not giving it, I have to take you out. If you’re missing shots, that’s just part of the game. But if you’re not giving energy or effort, I’ve got to take you out.”

Tomorrows Nets game and Brook Lopez

Hello Sports fans!

Tomorrows game will be EPIC! Unfortunately I will not be able to be in attendance but I will be watching the game. Tomorrow night the Nets will face the Pacers. The Pacers are currently the best team in the NBA. I am really excited to see Jason Kidd lead his team to victory!

Brook Lopez is currently injured and won't be in tomorrows game.  The Nets record without Lopez is 1-4. 

Good Luck Nets!

Tomorrow nights prediction: WIN!

Laker Interview: Xavier Henry

Michael Here! I had the opportunity, thanks to the Lakers, to interview Xavier Henry! I am very excited to post it here on this blog!

Universal Interview (By Xavier Henry)
1.     How does Kobe returning from his injury going to help your team?
"He's Kobe Bryant. How's it [his return] not going to help us? He'll help us in every facet of the game. He'll bring a lot of leadership with him."

2.     What have you learned most about Kobe, with your experience on the same team?
"He's really smart. He goes at his own pace and he really owns the game. He communicates with everybody on his teams and he gets everything done."

Hope you enjoy this interview.

Michael Signing off!
