    So yeah guys, today I started working at 04:30AM and worked until 09:30AM. Had to wake up very early. So about 8AM, here comes this guy, very tall, and didn't recognize him at all, but knew he had to be a former bball player since he was older. Had plenty of kiosks to self-checkin but he decides to come to me and ask for my help. I ask him for his last name and he says Malone, immediately it clicked that it was Moses Malone,plus on one of the bags that he checked in, it had the Sixers emblem. Told him I'm a big bball fan, and got to shake his hand. I also printed an extra boarding pass to keep for my record.

    Basically made my day guys. :)



    He looked just like in this picture.

    Pretty cool, CK. Do you meet a lot of people, working at an airport?

    Move this to off-topic, or any other public boards?

    Malone has to be one of the all time under rated players now a days IMO. That guys was a force back in the day.

    I'll move it to the off-topic.

    But yeah Yinka, kind of see a lot of singers, sometimes rappers, just saw one of the guys from 504 Boyz rap group (Master P's former group), forgot his name, but a driver brought him, he just checked in and left, never took his sunglasses off. (wonder why?) lol

    Out of all them so far Malone was the most famous for me personally. :)

    That's cool.

    Just in case you're faced with this situation; get a me copy of Kidd's boarding pass too.

    You shook hands with a former 76er??? I would have said 'we're closed' and made sure I was wearing a McHale jersey, giving him a menacing stare.

    ^ LOL, I love the NBA and the players though, so couldn't do that no matter how much I hated a team at one time for example.
