PrintIn honor of Manu's imminent return, here's a comic look at the contrasting fashion of TJ Ford and Manu as they sat together behind the bench. TJ started off rockin' the suit and tie, but as time has progressed he has come around the Manu's casual chic look. Here's my six-frame take on what was said the first night they sat together: Manu in black velveteen sport coat, jeans, and open-collared shirt, and TJ in a light brown suit with coordinating shirt and tie.
Be sure to read how this all worked out on the Road Trip at the end of the post.
So how did this all end? The last two games in Memphis and Philadelphia, Manu was wearing his black velveteen jacket, jeans, and open collared shirt - and TJ had traded his suit for - yes, you guessed it - a black velveteen jacket, jeans, and open collared shirt!

Hey janieannie, any suggestions on good settings to take pictures at the arena? What works well for you? I am going to the Nets game tomorrow and hoping to get some good shots of the guys.

What kind of camera are you using? NBA arenas won’t allow cameras with detachable lenses. I set my camera for 800 ISO, exposure time 1/160 to 1/200, f/stop around 4 for most shots. I also have a choice to set lighting type – use one of 2 fluorescent settings. Different arenas have different types of lighting – have never shot in New Jersey. My little Canon allows me to set the exposure time and it sets the f/stop for me. Good luck! Wish I could be there – I checked on flights, but it was just too expensive for one game.

So if I were ever to go to an nba game, I wouldn’t be allowed to bring my Canon 1100D?! That’s crazy.

I have a camera with a fixed lens so I think I should be OK. That is exactly the type of information I was looking for. Thanks!

You’re OK as long as the lens isn’t over 3 1/2 inches – at least that’s the deal in San Antonio. I checked the site for the arena in NJ and they say no “professional-type cameras”.

Wow! They were extremely lax at the Prudential center. I was worried because my fixed lens camera can zoom to 35x so I was worried they were going to send me back. But they did not even look at it. Furthermore while the game was going on a small dude came with his family with a DSLR with a huge telephoto lens attached!

There are three facial expressions in these photos that are wonderful: Timmy in photo three and Manu and TJ in photo five. The look Manu is giving RJ seems to be burning what little hair RJ has on his head.

This was really funny Janie. I also saw that Manu recommended following @InfoManu on his Facebook page. Congrats on that. You guys are becoming the go-to source for Manu news.

We are on Facebook, too! @InfoManu, same name. There’s a “guess Manu’s stats” thing going on there (guess points, assists, and rebounds). And things are more likely to be in both Spanish and English there.
