It's good to hear that he was so cool too. It's actually very rare to meet a celebrity that is humble and nice. I've met Kobe before, and much to my surprise... he was pretty cool. not a dick and not a nice guy, but pretty cool.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Swish15:</div><div class="quote_post">MickyEyes, I'm just curious. How did you become a Magic fan while living in Cali?</div> Probably same way I became a Lakers fan while living in Florida. I've never met Kobe but I heard he is a real nice AND cool guy Mickyeyez. Anyway, Hedo was always a cool guy but it's surprisng to hear that Arroyo was a jerk.
I've met Arroyo as well and he wasn't the nicest guy to me either. He answered my questions and everything but he seemed like he didn't want to be there where as Dwight, Jameer, Grant, and even Francis when he was here all were really cool to me.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Swish15:</div><div class="quote_post">MickyEyes, I'm just curious. How did you become a Magic fan while living in Cali?</div> Franchise is right... same thing. But in reality, when I was just beginning to love b-ball, that was when shaq was just drafted and penny was brought over. Everyone around me was either a lakers fan or bulls fan (obviously the 2 popular choices)... and i never liked either, but i DID love watching shaq and penny. Since then, i've always followed them. every year i buy the b-ball package for cable and that is that. When i was a kid i think i owned about 4 pairs of the penny shoes that nike made. i remember the commercials like it was yesterday... Similar reason that i'm a Bucs fan... except that started for me with alstott and dunn. I'm yet to watch a magic game in orlando or a bucs game in tampa. I wanna make the pilgrimage soon though. I have seen Orlando when they visit LA and the Bucs in Qualcomm (San Diego) a couple years ago.
ok there you all are...there were pics of me shooting on the court but i figured ya'll wouldn't want that...later
Awesome pics, thanks d-money. It looks like you had a lot of fun. Also, is that a Magic wristband that Diener is wearing? I wonder where you can get those. EDIT: How tall are you? I'm just wondering because you and Diener are like the same height.
they were selling the wrist bands there but it was something crazy, like3 for 12 dollars...btw im 6'1'' and yeah they list diener as like 6'0'' when he is more like 6'1.5'' or something like that...jameer is no taller than 5'11'' and i think that's pushing it
