That's an easy one for me, 'cause I attended one of THE all-time memorable events in sports history.

The first Ali-Frazier fight at Madison Square Garden.

I stood on line all night about three months before the fight to buy tickets. Actually, I was third on line, and there was a picture of me in the sports section of THE TIMES the next morning. Except this was in January, and it was so friggin' cold, that I had one of those wool face masks with cutouts for your eyes and mouth, so you couldn't tell it was me.

I bought 2 ringside seats for $100 each (Imagine what they would cost today!). The day of the fight, my friend and I started hanging around the Garden in the early afternoon, buying and selling tickets, and we made a nice little profit besides. So actually, we saw the fight from ringside for free.

Second choice would be a road trip to Boston two years ago with my then 13 year old son to see game 6 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, Nets vs. Celtics, won by the Nets who clinched the series with the win, and went on to the NBA finals. We had our Nets shirts (my son with a Jason Kidd jersey) and hats on, and the friendly abuse we got from the Boston fans was great.

Third choice would be the Nets vs. Spurs, NBA Finals last year at the Continental Arena, when I met Frank Vincent
