The NBA is in town!

Las Vegas is hosting the NBA All-Star game this weekend, so the town is even crazier than usual. Last evening, Mike and I attended the Touch a Life gala sponsored by the Wives of the NBA to honor Elaine Wynn, Cookie Johnson (Magic Johnson's wife), and Dikembe Mutumbo for some of the community efforts they make. Part of the proceeds from the evening benefited the organization that Mike works for, so we were invited to share in the evening. There were quite a few celebrities present including: Magic Johnson, Dave Winfield (former Minnesota Twins player!), Queen Latifah, Vivica Fox, Alonzo Mourning, Arnold Schwarzenegger, to name a few! Here are some pics from the evening.
Dikembe Motumbo (over 7 feet tall!) with some of the participants of the After School All-Stars (the program Mike works for).
Posing with Magic Johnson, an unknown (to me) ex-NBA player, and Dave Winfield.

Mike,

You should have sported your old NBA jersey that was retired in nineteen-ninety-and-four.
