Basketball Memorabilia

Getting an autograph at a basketball game is very fun and could be the best part of any game for a fan. There are many ways to get Autographs of players but after you learn a few basic steps right now:

Know the player's names: It is imperative to know the player's names when trying to get their autographs. They are more likely to give you an autograph when they know that you know who they are, this way they know you will appreciate their signature.

Always have a pen: How can you get an autograph without a pen, trust me they don't carry pens with them just in case somebody asks for an autograph.

Saying please and thank you: Common courtesy is always important. They like it when you treat them decently.

Programs are the best: Try to have a program or the roster sheet for them to sign, it is easier for you, especially if you plan on getting more than one autograph, plus it looks better to have an autograph on something related to the game, like a program.

try to go early and see if you can get an autograph from Ray Allen when there doing shoot around or practice.

if you dont go early, you would have to get a close seat to the entrance or court.

as forth whole team signing the ball, i don't think they would do that. it's going to be hard enough to get ray allen's auto, so trying to get the whole team to sign the ball is going to be 10x harder.

if you can not get any autograph what so ever, you should go to this website. they have autographed stuff a lot of players

The only way you can get an auto is if you are sitting near the court. In the 100 lower level. Most of the time, players will only sign during shoot around which is an 1 hour before the game starts. Most of the time only 5 or 6 players shoot around from eahc team. When they are done they will go through the tunnel into their locker room. That is when they will sign if they indeed feel like signing that night.

heres my advice, ive been to many warriors home games and ive gotten quite a few autographs myself from the warriors and their opponents.

there is a way you can walk in and out of the tunnel, but you would have to have really good seats, usually the ones facing center court. you get special parking passes if you buy the season tickets. with these special parking passes you can walk in and out of the tunnel when you want.

but if you buy just a single game ticket, the best thing to do is wait at the doors before it even opens. the oracle arena opens at 6 pm sharp. im in line at 5:40. and make sure youre at the right gate, you have to know the shortest route from the gate to the players tunnel. and once the gates open, run to get the best position. you'll be standing for a while because the players will be doing their pregame warmups and things like that. and when they walk back in the locker room, thats when they sign things.

note: there are many selfish, bungs in the nba. if youre hoping for lebrons autograph, forget about it. of course there are some nice guys out there, whos autograph would fetch a pretty penny. from my personal experience, these are notable guys who sign for most people:

-dwight howard (really nice guy)

-elton brand (nice guy, polite)

-lamar odom

-baron davis (sometimes)

-jason richardson

-monta ellis

-andris biedrins

-stephen jackson

-chris paul

-pau gasol (sometimes)

-carlos delfino

-marko jaric

-shaq (very seldom, maybe if you get a little kid, he might sign something)

normally, the players don't sign autographs during and after

game. you best chance is to meet them before game

during practice shoot around
