Apparently it's also a great place to take in a basketball game because Michael Finley and Juwan Howard came in to eat dinner in the bar while watching the LA Lakers-Houston Rockets game on TV.
(Finley, who is now with the San Antonio Spurs, was in town to play the Mavericks the following evening - he and Howard used to be teammates here in Dallas.)
I could see them from where I was sitting and all through my dinner all I could think was, "Don't they get sick and tired of watching and playing basketball all the time."
Later when we were leaving, I suddenly found myself walking out along side Michael Finley - I couldn't resist:
Me: "Hey Mike, don't you get tired of watching basketball all the time?"
Mike: "No man! I love it!"
Me: "But as long as you have been around the game, wouldn't you want to get away from it all during an off-night?"
Mike: "What do you do for a living?"
Me: "I sell pharmaceuticals."
Mike: "Well, when you get home from work do you ever look up the stock price of your company or think about your job?"
Me: "Sure, but there comes a point when I don't want to think about it anymore."
Mike: "Well, when you do what you love it never feels like work."
Me: " . . . . . . . . cool, man!"
