1. Chucky Atkins - talked to him for about 3-4 minutes before a game. He's a real nice guy. He just asked me where I'm from, do I play, what position, all that good stuff. Unfortunatly I did not have a pen. 2. Gave Jason Kidd five. 3. Got DerMarr Johnson's autograph when he was a rookie. 4. Got Walter McCarty's autograph. 5. Asked Delonte for his autograph, he turned and said "After the game, bra." (Damn security guards never let you go down there. F them) 6. Tried so hard to talk to Antoine, security guard yelled at me to go back to my seat, but I got Toine's attention and he looked at me and smiled. Yeah, so not many, but I thought this would be a fun topic to discuss.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (DRob-50-Forever @ May 4 2006, 05:57 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Huh? Oh the mascot?</div>Yeah, I used to talk to him through email a lot and he came up to my seats at games a few times. He's a nice guy.
I've given high fives to alot of players. We used to have season tickets to the spurs back when they sucked. I was little tho, don't remember most of it. David Robinson also went to one of my friends b-day parties bc they lived next door to him. Antoine Walker signed my ticket to a game vs. Minny, but i loist it. haha
haha, he also goes to my friends church, but i don't ever get to go up to him there. He always has a swarm of about 100 people bothering him already.
I met Patrick Ewing randomly in a hotel in New York. I met Rick Pitino in the box seats section of a BC basketball game at conte forum...it was kinda funny because he was at the height of his struggle in Boston and got fired like two weeks later. I went to a mini camp that was ran by M.L. Carr back in the day. I also met Jo-Jo White when I had sick seats at a Celtics game.

It was almost like I didn't want to even say hi to the guy haha, we just kind gave him a nod and he goes "hey guys" and then he just kept walking.I've met craploads of Bruins, but I'm sure nobody cares about that because hockey is pretty much a dead sport right now. A lot of them vacation in the town I live in on the south shore of Massachusetts.
Well speaking of autographs, I mean this really doesn't go with my topic of meeting/interacting with players, but every Christmas my mom gets me an autographed picture/ball of an NBA player. It's sick. I have: Michael Jordan autographed picture Vince Carter autographed picture Paul Pierce autographed ball Antoine Walker autographed picture Tony Allen autographed picture Al Jefferson autographed picture 2 Marcus Banks autographed cards Antonio McDyess autographed card (from his Nuggets days)
My cousin used to go to tons of Celtics games and stuff. People hes met (yeah im pretty jealous of him)PierceAntoineDarius Miles (Darius asked my cousin to hold his root beer while he went and got his cell phone)Carlos Boozer (he has Boozers game worn shoes autographed. boozer gave them to him after the game. theyre so ill)He's probabaly met more. The only one Ive talked to before is Raef while he was leaving the players lot.
I've met almost every player on Bruins 02-03 roster and older players like Rick E, Ray Borque (my favorite), Bobby Orr, and Rick Middleton. My family owns a restuarant or two in Amherst, NH, and it's rather upscale so we get a lot of players from Boston teams. I've met a plethora of players.
