NBA Tournament Time

It's NBA tournament season again. That means basketball all the time, or at least all the time my husband is home. So on Sunday I asked what turned out to be probably the only NBA question my husband didn't know the answer too. It went something like this.

"Clippers game huh? Where are the Clippers from?"
"LA"
"Oh so LA has two teams, Clippers and the Lakers." (See I'm not totally basketball retarded.)
"Uh-huh"
"So where do the Clippers play?"
"Staples Center"
"But that's where the Lakers play." (Look at my basketball knowledge.)
"Yeah, so?"
"Well the floor says Clippers all over it. How do they change it for the Lakers?"

(Can you tell the game was on? He used the fewest possible words to answer my questions.)

And that last question finally stumped him. So I googled it. Google has all the answers so why wouldn't they know this. Now mind you I am a high powered google-er. I know how to find what I'm looking for. After an hour I came to the conclusion that we had finally stumped google.

But now what? I still really want to know how they change the floors. So I got the brilliantly simple idea to email the Staples center. And Guesss What???!!! They actually wrote me back! And within 24 hours too! I didn't think they would take the time but look, I have proof:

Thank you for contacting STAPLES Center Guest Services.

We have two separate wooden floors that piece together like a puzzle. Depending on the game, the respective floor must be put down each time. To clarify, we do not change portions of the floor (i.e. the key & edges), we change the whole entire floor.

Thank you for your question. We hope you enjoy your next event at the STAPLES Center.

My respect level for the Staples Center just went up about 100 points.
