3. One of the greatest days of my life was Game 7 of the 1990 NBA Eastern Conference Finals

My late husband and I were sitting in our nosebleed seats in The Palace when a very well-dressed couple from Chicago came up to us and asked us if we would switch seats with them because they wanted to sit with their friends who were next to us. We were at first dubious, but the tickets had to be legit because they'd gotten in so we said, "Sure!" Well, we found ourselves 5 rows in, midcourt right behind Magic Johnson. A guy kept looking over at us and finally asked how we came to be sitting there. We told him and he started laughing, saying he'd just scalped those tickets for $2,000 and how he was so happy they made their way to Pistons fans. It was a great game. We felt like we'd won the lottery. And we won 86 to 77.

Good times, indeed.
