I have met George Lopez at my mom's work. I met Kobe at a Pre-season game a few years back and I met Stu Lantz (Lakers Color Announcer) at Staples Center. I also talked to The Game but he didn't talk back... I was at a Lakers Summer Pro League Game and he was seated in the more expensive seats and I yelled at him multiple times and he ignored me..don't know if that counts or not... :no1:
Unrelated to me, but my cousin:Carlos Boozer: Talked to him after a game while he was with the Cavs, Booze gave him one of his shoes. Darius Miles: Hahah my cousin has his cell number. Someone stole his rootbeer so my cousin got him a new one LeBron's Mom: He was in there before a game and was talking about LeBron with his friend and this lady was behind them and said she was LeBron's mom. She got him one of his game used headbands.And hundreds of other athletes, those are his most memorable stories. He has an memorabilia room worth a sh*t load of cash, probably six figures when its said and done.
Uh...Forgot to add some things...2 years ago when I was at a Raptors game, Rab Babcock (former Raptors bonehead GM) was sitting like two rows back of me. Didn't talk to him though....Also, I was about 10 feet away from Chris Bosh, and some other Raptors when they were warming up at halftime. I yelled "Sup Chris" when he was doing his layup drill, but he just ignored me.

We can post people related to famous people? Then I also met Jordan Farmar's parents at a Laker game, they were seated next to us during the game. They were nice people and seemed to scream and cheer on every play especially when Farmar was in the game.

I know to get his autographs he used to go to the players hotel before the games. Sometimes he'd stay after, but the one time we did we only saw Raef and Perk.

If you are seated in good seats (rows 10 to the floor) then you can basically walk around the court and talk to players as long as you don't bother them. You can do that at Staples Center anyway... EDIT: BTW I'm talking like an hour or so before tip-off.

He obviously had an accent but I understood him say "How are you"
I have had a conversation with Chucky Atkins when he played for the Celtics a couple years ago. He was a real cool guy, very nice. We talked for a couple minutes, actually. He asked me where I was from, if I played or not, what position I played, etc. Unfortunately, I did not have a pen or marker on me, so I couldn't get his autograph, but it was awesome talking to him. Also, Delonte West has said a couple words to me lol. This doesn't count as a conversation, but I had floor seats, and he was dribbling a ball close to where we were, so I screamed "DELONTE!" He turned, looked at me, said "hey." Then I held out a pen and a peice of paper, and he said "after the game, bro."
