Sorry the edges are cutoff, poster is too big for scanner. Anyone have a personal contact for Brandon??


Brandon


Troy


Roy


Dahntay


Tyler


Travis playing pool...He wasn't too bad considering all the people trying to talk to him between shots. Mike was playing pool as well and I watched him practically 'run' the table. I could actually see him thinking about his next shot before he took his current shot.


Jeff, Roy and TJ signing stuff...As big of a fan as I have been of TJ as our third string point guard, I was compelled by his recent play to commend him for playing well the last couple of games; wished Jeff good luck with the back; and told Roy to keep shooting hook shots!


RealGM poster Dunthreevy with Tyler & Dahntay...Tyler's equilibrium is still so out of whack he had THREE 'handlers' yelling for anyone taking his pic to turn their camera's flash off!!


Dunthreevy getting his Danger Granger all star jersey signed...Hopefully it will inspire him to return to last years form!!


HookShotHibbert (yes, third person reference) and Troy working on completing the poster!

This is great. I'm envious. It's nice to see the players mingling with the people who support them.

As for the Rush signature, I'm sure he tried to get his signature on there, but lost confidence and...you know what, I'll stop this bad joke before it goes further.

I hope to one day be able to live a year in Indy and get season tickets to Colts and Pacers games. Just one of my many life goals.

Pretty cool. Sounds like a great event. Thanks for taking the time to share pictures and some stories....

Actually Rush and Head weren't supposed to sign, as they were supposed to be playing arcade 'pop-a-shot' with fans the entire time. Rush followed the rules all the way and didn't sign for anyone. Head was 'sneaking' to sign when his handler wasn't watching. BTW, Head was a bada$$ on the pop-a-shot. He scored 107 points in 1 minute and he was playing against someone, which if you have every played against someone you know it is harder b/c both people are grabbing for the basketballs.

I was pretty stoked to finally get Granger to sign the All-Star jersey (authentic). Being somewhat of a memorabilia collector, that's a pretty unique piece to get signed. Imagine having an autographed Reggie jersey from his first All-Star appearance back in 1990. Who knows if Danny is actually going to be as important to our franchise history, but I'd like to think he might.

Overall, I thought the event was set up pretty well. The lines to get player autographs were actually moving pretty quick, and there was some pretty decent food.

We could say that Tyler didn't seem to be in a good mood because of the "inner ear infection" but overall since he got drafted the guy has displayed about as much personality and enthusiasm as a slug, when it comes to dealing with fans and media. The entire time he was signing autographs he looked like it was the last place in the world that he wanted to be. He wouldn't even acknowledge people when he was signing things. Just sign it and push it away, seemed to be his method. People have clamored to him because he's the "Larry Bird type" but unless he comes out of his shell I could see him losing a lot of his current fans. To be blunt, he appears to be an a-hole. I could be off, but that's definitely the vibe that he puts out when he's away from the court. Rush didn't sign any autographs but he was being very personable with everyone that wanted to take pictures and all of the kids he played 'pop-a-shot' with. Seemed like all of the players were pretty cool and interacted with the fans well, other than the Psycho.

No problem. Glad to be able to share any bright spot that can be found in our team's current state.

M4E, I think you cracked the code as to why the team had Rush at the pop-a-shot all night, against little kids....So he could build his confidence!

[Miller4ever]

^^He had it going until Milwaukee. They should hire a kid to be on the staff so Rush can take someone off the dribble, dunk on, shoot over, outrebound, outrun, and be better than overall. That'll do it. He'll be a 30-12-7-3-3 player after that.

Cool stuff man.
