I hate met some:- Charles Barkely, he asked if I wanted a beer, when I was only 11 then. - I met Clyde Drexler at the 2004 Final Four- I met Jameer Nelson at the 2004 Final Four also lol- I shook hands with MJ at the International in Colorado- I have played a mess around 1 on 1 game with Nick Fazekas, I am pretty sure he will be entering the NBA draft this year, maybe next.
I had a conversation with Mike James when I was at the Raptors game but thats about it."Hey Mike""Hey Buddy. WHats going on?""Nothing much. Are you going to stay with the Raptors next season?""I'm Mike James <Censored>. I'll stay as long as I get my money!"No Im kidding I just got his autograph and i said hi and stuff.
I've met most of the Pistons players...but ones that I actually talked to are:Lindsey hunter like 2 times. (1) After a Pistons game when he was doing an interview with the radio.(2) Pre-Game shoot aroundRasheed Wallace twice.Both times at my hs. His son went to my school for about a month in the beginning of the year - but than he got caught smoking the reefer and sheed took him out and moved him to another school. This was b4 the season that I saw him because he used to come pick him up every day after school - in his maybach which was sweeet.Ben Wallace:He was in the sheed's maybach once.Richard Hamilton like 4 times:Three of them were at a wendys that I always go to lol - one time he came in a limousine - i was like wtf??the other was at a mercedes car dealershipChauncey Billups:He came once to this restaurant I work at (Pizza Papalis) - he ordered a ton of food.thats it.oh yea...not a ball player, but I took a picture with one of the ESPn announcers - forgot his name right now, but hes the really old one.
Shook hands with Jordan at a Wizards Sixers games a few years back.- Dikembe Mutumbo- Rodney Buford -Matt Geiger - Eric Snow-Chris Whitney- I played basketball with Chevy Troutman. The former stand out Forward for the Pittsburgh Panthers. He went to my high school. We played at least 5 times at the local YMCA.Not many. The city I live in doesn't have the NBA connections

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BALLAHOLLIC @ Apr 17 2006, 10:52 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>How so?How do you know him?</div>Well, for one, he lives on my best friend's property and I've crashed at his house, (haha, he didn't even know, he was gone and we stayed in there, completely trashed the place), he was the coach on my school team (not trying to be cocky, but I was head and shoulders above pretty much everyone else, since basically, my school sucks at basketball) and would get on me for not shooting all the time, and I was MVP of his camp three times. Oh yeah, and my friend actually beat him in a three point shooting contest. He was 4/6, my friend was 9/10!!
Ive met Rasheem Barrett..He went to the HS im going to..Ive seen alot of his games, and he had a great freshman year at Auburn.So he'll be a future NBA player.. :boogie:
Eddy CurryAntonio DavisBob Lovemy brother got to talk with Norm Van Lier, he said Norm was drunk off his <Censored> at the Bulls vs wizards game
My uncle used to be one of Vinny Del Negro's bodygaurds, so i've met him when i was pretty little. Cant really remember it though.
I've only met Michael Finley in Reno. The usual autograph signings at Philly games, but I don't think those count. My cousin met Barkley on a plane, I can't imagine meeting him and saying I'm a Mavs fan, awkward moment.
Met Sam Dalembert 2 years ag at Sixers Camps.Got his autograph. He told me "you look like your mother".Met Tyron Lue when he was a Wizard after a game.
Here are a list of players I've met (in the order I can remember them):Allen IversonDikembe MutomboTracy McGradyYao MingHakeem OlajuwonCharles BarkleySteve Francis and his boyfriend MobleyMike BibbyChris WebberI've also met a lot of other players, but those are the only big names I can remember off the top of my head.
-Allan Houston - shook hands with him at a NY golf club with my dad and asked how much longer he would stay in the league (2004)- Keith Van Horn - met at a Knicks game got an autograph and wished him luck (2003-04 season Lakers @ Knicks game.)- Derek Fisher & Brian Cook - met at the same game I met Keith Van Horn during shootaround, got autographs for BOTH of them, told them Lakers rock and I wished them good luck for that year. (2003)
