    Well I tackled Jerry Rice Jr. a couple times when we played his team, we're rivals. That's about it, plus the two 7 foot twins going to Stanford dunked on me, I blocked one of their alleyoop passes at about rim level tho, but still.

    Back in 5th grade I played with Derrick Character at a basketball camp when he was in 8th grade I think (the camp was Kevin Boyle's, the coach for St patricks, who Character played for in HS):[​IMG]

    I like Fazekas. I thought he was going to come out this year.

    I havn't played ball with any famous people, but my friends sister's ex-boyfriend is friends with Matt Bonner's brother. He's also played pickup games with Matt Bonner.

    I have caught a pass and passed a ball back to a Globetrotters player. Does that count? :dribble:

    I have played with the MVP of Hong Kong a while back...not very famous though, for obvious reasons. By the way, I now know why he's a pro and I'm not. When I first saw him, I was amazed at how good he really was, because I'd never seen a pro play, at any level. Needless to say, he blew away every player on the court.

    Not really famous, but I've played with relatives of famous people. Joe Dumars' son, and Rasheed Wallace's son. Both sucked.

    <span style="font-family:Book Antiqua">Well... I haven't ever even thought of playing with a professional athlete. An obvious reason would be that they don't seem to come around Moreno Valley...</span>

    Nope. Once again, I live in Atlantic Canada. The only famous sports player here is Sidney Crosbey, and I dont like hockey.

Bonzi was up here for 3 or so weeks last year, and I don't think I said a word to him until his last few days because he was always talking with other people. People getting in your business can really get annoying.Unrelated, but I've also met Kevin Hardy (former pro bowler), Walter McCarty, Calbert Cheany (my parents actually got an anniversary card from him right after before he won almost every award in 1993), and Don Mattingly.
