Staples Center Crew: If I show up early, how can I watch the shoot around?

[J Shuttlesworth]

Would be awesome to see. How do you get in there?

Why are you making such a big deal about your first NBA experience lol. Nobody really cares enough to help you out. Just go out there and enjoy your time.

Not my first NBA game, but it's a simple question and I know there are tons of people here who go to the Staples center. Last time I asked a question about Staples on here, I got a lot of quality advice

I did this when the Mavs were in Staples vs Clippers in their 2010-2011 championship year.

Shootarounds are my favorite aspect of the game to watch.

I saw Jason Kidd take 40 three pointers, make 39, and miss one that went down and bounced back out.

Marion was practicing those flip shots with Terry Stotts pushing back on him hard every time for about 40 minutes straights.

Tyson Chandler made 40 of 50 elbow jumpers.

People tend to forget how unbelievably beastly NBA players are.

Sick. I'm not sure if there's a guard or anything there, that's why I was wondering. Guess I'll try to make the shoot around

Hell no, I got there about 1.5 hours before tipoff and no one was there. The ushers will allow you to sit behind the basket but not courtside. it's pretty cool. It's so quiet at that stage that you can hear everyone talking on the floor.

:pimp: Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely check it out

Usually get there about an hour or so prior to the tip, see some shoot arounds.
