D-Block Vegas Trip 2016: Day Two

Day two began with more D-Block teammates playing in the Westgate Resort & Hotel pool.

Followed, as would become a daily tradition, cookies in the Concierge Lounge.
X didn't care about getting tickets to any fancy Vegas shows. All he wanted was to get to some NBA Summer League games. We met up right away with his coach Brad's family, including teammate Austin.
Eight different teams playing four games in two different (connected) venues. X had a blast.

"Meeting" Ben Simmons.
X was singled out by the cameraman in the Cox Pavilion and made it on the jumbotron, dancing to "We Will Rock You."
No wallflower, this one.
Later, Austin and Xander found their teammates Cade and Nick, and the four of them made it on the even bigger jumbotron in the Thomas and Mack Center. 
The boys had their eye on a souvenir that was floating above the floor on this weird, slow-moving thing. They chased after it in the stands for awhile...
Waiting for it to drop...waiting, waiting...
X got it (the red foam finger)!
Heading out after seeing at least parts of five games. Posing with a statue of UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian. 
Time for D-Block's first game of the tournament!

Pre-game meeting.
The boys handily beat their first opponent.
