I know people who have seen Kobe at South Coast Plaza. It's close to his house. It's a huge place though so even if you were there all day and Kobe went there, you'd have a low chance of running into him.

Re: Where in LA/OC have possibility of catching sight of a L
Nice. I will see if I can hang out at Fashion Island and South Coast plaza more. Honestly, I am at SCP all the time. I actually lived right down the street from SCP for about 3 years so I went there almost everyday for something.

I think the players want some privacy and do not want to be followed by people who just want to get a picture to put on facebook or some twitter account.

You used to be able to camp out at a handicap spot and eventually see Bynum.

Re: Where in LA/OC have possibility of catching sight of a L
why don't you just goto the laker training facility on nash street in el segundo
http://www.toyotasportscenter.com/
I passed by there during the dwight press conference and dwight was at the gate of facility saying hi to fans and signing stuff. I'm sure you'll see the players driving off. Go on media day? or a practice day? its in between sepulveda and nash street. I think they also took that photo shoot with steve nash there (nash street)

Luke Walton (used to?) own a bbq place in the shopping center at the corner of Sepulveda & Rosecrans in Manhattan Beach. He and several other Lakers were seen there repeatedly.
Pau Gasol ambled down to the volleyball courts on Redondo Beach around Knob Hill Av at least once.
When I was young, one was able to talk or have a drink even with world champions and olympic medailists. Nowadays you can't get to anyone even with a business proposal unless you are "Mr. Nike". Even their agents consider themselves superstars that do not bother to answer your phone, email or letter

I think he still owns it, it's a pretty good bbq place. I've seen Kupchack at Chipotle on Sepulveda in El Segundo a couple times, it was after 1 though, I think they tend to eat at 1 or 2, after the noon lunch crowd. I have worked in El Segundo for the past four years, I've seen d league guys at subway on sepulveda and at the hacienda hotel near there. That's been my only luck.

ron artest on the venice beach basketball courts in the offseason
kobe at some hot shot chinese restaurant in LA after home games
gasol on redondo beach volleyball courts
magic johnson at one of his theaters
rick fox on post game shows after home games outside staples center
kareem is always in the stands in home games on the lower level, always.
after LA home games, you might see some unique players like carmelo, dwight, garnett, odom, and pierce out and about

Friends were behind em in line and started chanting "MVP", Kobe paid for their food with a bill. They got his change, he parked and they gave em the change/took pics with em. Lol he was wearing all Kobe gear except Jordan shoes.
Also you see em time to time at the coffee bean next to UCI.
That's dope man.
