I had to finish this! I started this drawing way back in December.
Gametime @ Staples. Lakers Vs. Knicks. November 24, 2009.
Gasol: post victory. Kobe is next to him talking to George Lopez.
After the game, I went into the Team LA Store. My wife came over to me and said, “Stevie Wonder is right over there.” I was like “Wha–” and spun around. He was like 5 feet away trying to keep a low-pro (hahaha… absolutely impossible)!
The HUGE bodyguard next to him was really nice to everyone, but the store staffers were clamoring, “no photos please.” So this is my mental picture!
At the start of the game, they showed all the celebrities on the Jumbotron. But when Stevie popped on, the stadium announcer addressed the crowd with a proper introduction:
“Ladies and Gentlemen, Stevie Wonder is here tonight.”
Maybe it was to let him know what was happening, but it came off feeling larger than life. The whole crowd roared and he busted that big smile.
