"It was crazy — I mean, my brothers got me the tickets is kind of like a combination of like graduation, Christmas, and birthday," May said.
"They got him like really close like row one — I mean, it's the closest I've ever been and probably ever will be. We got there super early to watch the warm ups because we've never been that close, and this lady from the Rockets just walked up to us and asked me if I wanted to do it. And I was like, heck yeah."
