Just dribble and shoot

Two finals during the NBA.

It was during the 1993 NBA playoff final with  Charles Barkley versus Michael Jordan.  Or rather the Chicago Bulls going up against the Phoenix Sun.  Two titans battling for the NBA championship.  All of this seen on a tiny TV affixed up high on the wall in a delivery room of St. Johns hospital in Tulsa. 

The soon to be father was holding the hand of the soon to be mother while he watched the NBA playoff.  His attention would switch back and forth depending on the action.  Critical point team action or movement in the soon to be moms tummy.  Then suddenly a tiny head began to pocked out and the attending nurses caught the dunk shot.  Looky there, it’s a girl!  How about that!  Happy birthday Lauren Elizabeth.

Not sure who won the NBA playoff.  But congratulations to both mom and dad on their big event.  Swish!
