I met Arvydas Sabonis one time. Shook his hand and it was gigantic
But his head was even larger, about the size of a Buick. Nice guy though

I've met Mark Cuban, very nice and outgoing.

Rick Mahorn: Who was really cool.
Christian Laettner, Don Reid (Both in their Pistons years)
Rasheed Wallace: Who came up to me and started talking to me because I was wearing his #30 Blazers jersey at a Pistons game. He signed the jersey and was cracking jokes. Awesome experience.

Used to know Kevin Love. Was a nice guy, until the fame went to his head.
But do you know what they call a fool, who's full of himself and jumps into the path of death because it's cool?

Met vince at one of his basketball camps in the summer, and he was too busy for me to get his autograph, but he looked liked he was having a lot of fun with the kids at his camp.

Re: NBA Players that you have met?
Was just thinking about this the other day. At the bank I used to work for Jannero Pargo came in one day like two hours before a Bulls/Bucks game and I wondered why he wasn't already at the UC since we were all the way across the city. That was one of his only decent games last year, I think. He didn't say much and isn't as big as I expected an NBA player to be.
Anyhow, the other day my friend who still works there told me James Posey was there. We sure know how to pick em!

Re: NBA Players that you have met?
Dwight Howard- Met him at a Steak n Shake. It was around 3am. He was with one of his boys and a female friend. Since I was the only other customer in the joint at the time, I pulled up next to them and talked to him for a good 15-20 mins
Grant Hill
Darrell Armstrong
Tracy McGrady
Rashard Lewis. . .Apparently he likes to go out for drinks after most games. Introduced him to a blue long island. . .he had never heard of it. Cool ass guy...although he sucks and is soft as hell on the court
All of them were pretty nice...Rashard & Mac both let me take pics w/em.

Re: NBA Players that you have met?
Back in Orlando a couple years back I met a bunch of the Bulls/Magic at a club called Dragon Room. I met Kirk Hinrich, Andre Barrett, Chris Duhon, Jameer Nelson, Hedo Turkoglu, Rashard Lewis. Jameer was probably the nicest out of the bunch. I told Andre Barrett I had been watching him since the McDonald's high school game he appreciated it.
I met Gilbert Arenas and Antonio Daniels years back too outside of Washington DC at a PF Changs. They were both real nice. They got out of a Ferrari wearing wife beaters and Wizards shorts.
I met Jarvis Hayes at a restaurant, he was a real nice guy too
Mike Miller, talked to him once, he was nice enough to talk to me
I've met Gheorghe Mhuresan plenty of times. A couple times at Wizards Games (he is alwas there walking around) and once at a lounge called Lima. He is really something to see, the guy is enormous, and his hands engulf yours

Re: NBA Players that you have met?
Players i've met :
AI - Met him before a game thanks to a close friend of mines that got me courtside to see shootaround. He's actually pretty down to earth despite his appearance.
Patrick Ewing - Cool guy, in fact, real cool, met him at my mother's prior job ( a hospital in harlem) a ways back handing out toys and gifts to kids around christmas.
Emeka Okafor - Saw the guy in midtown last summer, strolling around like he wasn't a 7 foot basketball player. Got an autograph, but he couldn't talk long for some odd reason.

Re: NBA Players that you have met?
I met Chauncey Billups in a club...Let's hope this doesn't get Chauncey in trouble with his wife lol.. nice guy...very calm. I first noticed Chauncey going inside the club as he was getting out of a black Range Rover and Chucky Atkins was in the passenger side getting ready to go inside the club in Pontiac, MI. I think I annoyed Chucky Atkins because I was standing in the back of the line repeatedly screaming CHUCKY and he kept looking back LOL
On a different night in the same club I met Darko. I remember being mad because there was a guy standing in front me and blocking my way to go inside. I remember thinking to myself "this tall ass dude better get out of my way" so I gave him a little shove. Then I looked up and realized it was Darko and said DARKOOO. He was standing in the way because some girl kept trying to talk to him but he seemed uninterested and trying to walk away and eventually went to a VIP room..his English was broken when he was talking to the girl. This was during his rookie year.

For the first time in my life I realized that I was truly happy.......then I remembered I was drunk.
