i know he was never a Raptor, but i met Theo ratliff on two occasions. it was pretty cool well the first time i didn't really meet him just talked to him on the the phone.. I am from rural Manitoba (Dauphin) and when i was in grade 11 so 04, there was a new basketball coach and he was from the states and played college ball with theo and anyways we were goin to Winnipeg for a tournament and he was telling us all stories about all these guys he played against (jalen rose Chris webber) in high school and college, and being from small town Mb i called bull **** on him,i thought he was just running his mouth. so sure enough he pulled out his cell and called theo haha.... i just said ya would look good in purple and should come to Toronto, this was about 2 weeks after that huge facial Bosh gave him...

The second time i met him was when Portland was playing the raptors in Winnipeg Charlies Rookie year.. And i ran into him at earls the eating supper i just said hi and told him the story about talking to him like 1 year before, haha i don't think he remembered me owell..

Met Swirsky at Loblaws once. We chatted for a bit, but then Leo came and kept pressuring Chuck to buy some salami and cheese. I felt awkward and left.

Rasho is also a big joker- so if he saw him after a game in which Rasho played bad or even not at all, Rasho would make fun of himself and say-- I played great tonight- did you watch the game?

I met Jose, AP, and Jason Kapono the day after they won against Indiana when AP made that shot from his own side of the court. They were doing an autograph session in the ACC. Happiest day of my year lol :lol:

2nd hand stories I thought I'd share:

My coworker lived down the street in the beaches, on the same street as Eric Montross (when he was on the IL w/ broken foot). Montross dressed up as the Grim Reaper for halloween -- must have scared a whole bunch of kids

Chris Jeffries insisted that he recognized my female friend from somewhere, on a downtown street at night, telling her he played for the raptors.

Vince tried to pick up a female friend, flirting with her at Inside, insisting that she owed him something -- this went on for a while, he whispered to her that she owed him an opportunity to, um, perform acts on her. She rejected him. On an unrelated note, he had a pretty awful game the next day (Sunday afternoon game).

I see Joey Graham once in awhile at the grocery store in Liberty Village, near my office. I mentioned it here and a poster (Yuri Valutin maybe? )asked me whether he paid cash for his groceries, or charged them. Thought that was pretty funny.

Haha no theres like 9 to 10 now, for an astounding 9 thousand people.. Clear lake is always a good time, epically over summer break lots of young ladies. Riding mountain always a good camping spot...
