I know we've had this topic b4 - but there's a lot of newer posters.I've met a lot of the Pistons after the game once - but it wasn't that great.Rasheed Wallace's son went to my school for a few months - Rasheed picked him up from school everyday...Rasheed took him out of my school because he got caught smoking weed. I saw Richard Hamilton at a local Wendy's (in his limousine)Lindsey Hunter came to my work (pizza papalis) - he ordered some pizza.
Jameer Nelson in his college days sat next to my family and I at a food court in San Antonio during the Final Four, got his autograph on a dollar bill (only thing I had ).When I was 7 years old or so at Disney World we saw George Mccloud and Ryan Bowen (I think it was) during the off season.Meet Clyde Drexler at an autograph signing if that counts.Nick Fazekas went to my high school and I have talked to him before, my brother is friends with his little brother (who is absolutely horrid at basketball). He will be a pro soon.Saw Charles Barkley at a golf tournament, he asked me for a beer, also got his autograph. At that same golf tournament, I watched MJ drive some balls at the driving range. Sliced most of them. Gave Kirk Hinrich a high five at a KU basketball camp.
I have touched Dirk before (and gotten a picture with him, but goddamn it is awkward). F*ck yeah, bitches.I also met Evan Eschmeyer (tall, but sucked). I posted a thread a while back about handing a ball to Acie, and he'll be an NBA player soon. I also would see Antanas Kavaliauskas pretty often, but I don't know if he'll make it on an NBA roster... he's in the draft this year, but I don't know if he'll even get drafted in the second round or even get picked up afterwards... we'll see (I think he's a better player than some that are already in the NBA).
I saw Al Harrignton at Best Buy when he was with the PacersI saw Greg Oden at Frye's ElectronicsI know a very famous basketball (retired) player's kids, but I won't tell you who they are
Walked past Magic Johnson at the Maui Invitational two years ago... he was a really nice to the people who had enough courage to ask for his autographEdit: Does it count if you were near or high-fived a player before he went to the NBA. I got to shake hands with Adam Morrison while he was at my high-school(all the teams participating practice in our school's gym before their game)I've also been pretty close to guys like Maurice Ager, Shannon Brown, Ronny Turiaf, Raymond Felton, Sean May, Rashad McCants, etc..
Ive met and shot around with Steve Blake and Zaza Pachulia at a basketball camp I used to go to.Also, Im not 100% sure it was him, but I saw a guy that looked exactly like Brian Grant. He was big too but Im not sure if he was tall enough to be him. I saw him at Arby's but I couldnt talk to him because I was leaving the drive-thru and he was getting in his car. Also it wouldve been awkward if I talked to him and it wasnt Brian Grant lol.
I got Mo Pete's autograph and talked to him for a little bit before a game once. That's probably the closest.
I stood about 10 feet away from the Raptors players during warmups at the ACC. Charlie V looked over at me. But that's about it. Rob Babcock (our former dumbass GM) was about 2 rows up from me one game as well...so I was probably on TV that game...
Met J.R. Smith and his daddy Earl at the 2005 draft party. I got an autograph, but it washed away in the storm :no3:

My Uncles friend works at Madison Square Garden so he was able to get me and my dad into the Knicks locker room. now I have a hat that I was wearing that day with like 10 autographs on it.A few years ago I went to the US Open for Arthur Ashe Kids day and I met and got jason Kidd to sign this Huge Tennis Ball that were being given away to people.
I met Samuel Dalembert at Sixers Camps.Kevin Ollie Lectured us at Sixers Camps but I didnt go up to meet him.I met Tyron Lue when he was with the Wizards after a game.I saw Steve Francis on the street one day before the Wizards played the Magic.

I met ML Carr at a basketball camp. Former Celtic player/Coach.Bill Curley lives in my town and I've been to his camp several years. He was one of the best college basketball players in the history of Boston College but was a complete flop in the NBA.Other than that, I haven't met any significant NBA players.
