Just saw Dwight 

Post#1 » by OrlandoMagic » Mon Feb 4, 2008 6:19 pm

Hey guys just saw Dwight around 12:30 at Chick-Fil-A in Ocoee. I got his autograph, a picture, and a video of him. He was on the phone the most part so he didnt talk to much. He did sign a few autographs for some people in the restaurant though. Drives a nice Mercedes.

I used to work there so it was all good, he was alone yes... I have to send the pic from my phone to my email than ill post it up on here. Its of him walking out though. The video is of him on the phone though, so yeah I guess that would make it seem like Im a stalker... All I heard him order was a Large Sweet Tea and an extra order of waffle fries.. They say he goes in there before every home game.

this is in no way meant to be negative or to call you out, it's just kind of a thing i wonder to myself...

when people see a guy like Dwight out, eating or hanging out with his family/friends etc. is it really cool to walk up on them? i was never that type, not in those circumstances...at a game, or walking around the airport or something, yea i'd say whats up...

from my own personal perspective, when i played overseas and m wife and i were out eating dinner or lunch and people would come up to me, i really disliked it at that particular moment...and i wasn't even close to Dwight, so he has it happen a lot...

it's a weird thing, i know that once you get big you just have to deal with it i guess...but, idk...i think i almost hate when people bombarded people at those times...

i never walked up to him, I was talking to some of my friends working there in the corner and he ordered right next to me... Other people walked up to him though, he was cool about it all

the funny thing is this was the 1st time ive seen him up close. Ive always heard how huge and big he was, but for some reason I thought he was going to be bigger.. Nonetheless big guy though, guess after always hearing Huge Huge Huge I thought he was going to be like a monster.

I've got a very similar frame to Dwight. I'm 6'10, very broad shoulders, long arms, thick body but when I'm close to anyone of a similar height and build (not very often, as you can guess) I am usually quite taken aback by how they look near normal, average people.

I'm sure Thief feels the same as me, although being a ball player, he's around the bigger guys a lot more than I am.

Back on topic, that's cool about Dwight. I'd be pissed if I got hassled everywhere I went but Dwight seems like a really nice guy (not just the reports etc of him being Christian etc) but from actual people I've chatted to online who have conversed with him at games etc. I'm glad we've got a fan-friendly franchise player. Bodes well for me when I finally get out to Orlando one day.

You should've asked Dwight to say: "BITCH, GET ME A CHICKEN SANDWICH AND SOME WAFFLE FRIES....FO FREE!!" :rofl:

Ocoee is a nice place to live and Windermere happens to be next to Ocoee.

mayonnaise is not just for white people anymore...

but seriously, i probably eat fast food once a year, and i probably eat chik-fil-a once every 2 years so, it's not something i do on a frequent basis...and mayo will kill you FYI, but, if your eating those fries...im all over it...

Man, I hit Ocoee's Chic-Fil-A pretty often. Once a week for breakfast on Fridays and I'll drop by there 2-3 more times for the iced tea, which rocks. No wonder Dwight ordered it. I go with non sweet. Yes, Ocoee and Windermere are very close together. Dwight probably has to drive right by there to get to Amway anyway.

One day maybe I'll see Dwight, and hell I'll approach him. He's a celebrity, and when you choose a life where you become a celebrity it's part of it. I'd be polite of course, I wouldn't ask for an autograph, I'd simply wish him luck for the next game.
You look confused...let me fill you in.
