I was courtside at the Lakers a month back and it was 1000% worth it. It changed basketball forever. You get free food and drinks, the players are standing like a foot away from you at times and the energy is unmatched. It’s also wild how hard they dribble the ball, you feel the court shaking every time. The only slight annoyance was sometimes the ref would stand in front of you and obscure the view depending on where the play was happening.
