Saw Paul Pierce shooting a commercial in our high school gym back in the day. Me and my buddy kind of stalked him, parked in his escalade which was parked in the walkway by the back door of the school. Waiting for him there, he came out around 10 PM and he scolded us that we should "be home studying or something" and then chastised us about blocking him in with our "clown car." We wished him luck I think it was 03 playoffs or something. He had to drive over a curb to get around us. We tried to follow him but didn't really work out.

Pretty sure they told him not to say anything cuz he didn't say one word, he just walked to the car

He was in our gym, camp had ended, and he stayed inside and didn't leave until the World Cup Final ended (vs Spain).

My professor is gonna try to get him to guest speak in class so I'm hoping I can update my Kobe story

Allan Houston wrote:Just this past summer I was serving LeBron James in Vegas. I flew down a wire to deliver him some champagne and nearly kicked him in the head. He told me that he'd rather some girls with no panties deliver him drinks instead of yours truly. I was quite offended actually.

You should of told him you weren't wearing any panties then wink and walk away.

Jameer Nelson, JJ Redick, Vlade Divac, Bobby Jackson, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Brad Miller (stoned in Chipotle), Diawara (forgot his first name), Ray Allen talked to me because I was wearing a Bird jersey in South Lake. More I can't think of right now.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Toby McGuire, and short guy from Entourage were standing right next to me at the end of game 1 of the 2009 Finals. Said hi to Leo, he just looked down.

Oh yeah, I saw KAJ at California Pizza Kitchen, and he couldn't fit in the booth. Had to lay on the far side with his legs going across the booth seat, sticking out into the walking aisle.

I think I've only met Kobe. Can't think of anyone else. I've met a lot more baseball/football players. Giants use to / still do? have training camp at UAlbany and we use to always skateboard there. A lot of them would stop and say sup cause they would always see us there.

Anyways met Kobe at in and out. Me and my friends were walking out and he was coming in. I gave him a really weird puzzled look and he gave me the same look back and laughed and said sup. Was pretty funny and odd.

I've met Imran Ameerudhin, former D-league player.

Met him while i was in the mens change room at a club, cool guy.

Never saw nor heard of him dunking in a game before 9th grade- despite being in the 6'7 plus range. I recall him break dancing at a school dance -with a cast on his leg from hip to ankle - doing the windmill. He played offensive tackle / defensive end in football during jr high years ( Germany)

Do you know Stacey Miller from school in Germany?

Who is Stacey Miller? In the mid 80's there were about 25 to 35 completely American high schools in West Germany. Another 20 or so in surrounding NATO countries. Never heard of him.

I've "met" Deron Williams, Ronnie Price, Ronnie Brewer, Al Jefferson, Andrei Kirilenko, Derek Fisher, Gordon Hayward, Dee Brown, Jeremy Evans, CJ Miles, Raja Bell, Jarron Collins, Earl Watson, Kyrlo Fesenko, Jeff Hornacek, Matt Harpring and Gordon Giricek. I've also met the entire Jazz coaching staff. Williams was pretty grumpy/short the times I met him. AK, Harpring, Bell and the whole Jazz coaching staff are really nice and cool.

Guys I've really met and talked to for a bit...John Stockton and Wesley Matthews. Also played ball with a NBA scrub out of the U of U but I can't remember his name. Stockton was super nice, got to shake his hand (one thing crossed off my bucket list). Matthews is the coolest/nicest NBA player I've ever interacted with, I love that guy.

I also sat in front of David Stern at a Jazz game once...didn't have the guts to talk to him at the time though...apparently the seats at the ESA hurt his butt... :lol:

Also sat in front of Frank Layden but didn't talk to him.
