Have you ever ran into an NBA player in public?

[djohn2oo8]

Saw Rashard Lewis today at Town and Country. Wife is a dime.

[SpurSwag]

I know a lot of people who have bumped into Jason Kidd, heard from most of them that he's a douche. Some of my family live in OKC and they've met Westbrook, Scotty Brooks, and Derek Fisher. They said Westbrook is kinda reserved and to himself so he comes off as an asshole, but he's a pretty cool guy.

[Splits]

Ran into DRob in DFW airport right after the 2004 season started. I was in a hurry, recognized him walking along, shook his hand and thanked him for 3. He was quite gracious, and didn't try to hand me a bible or koran, so I was thankful about that.

[spurraider21]

i used to work at the call center at ucla, and about 75% of the students there were athletes, mostly track... and from the ones that knew Westbrook, they almost unanimously said he was a cool dude

that said i've never seen an NBA player outside of a game setting. i've met a handful of raiders players and some of the old-timers when i've been up on oakland though

[daslicer]

Michael Jordan,Barkley, Damon Jones, Laettner, Chucky Brown, Mitch Richmond, Spudd Webb, Vinny Del Negro, Gugliotta ,James Worthy,Nate McMillan. I played Damon Jones several years ago in college in a pickup game. I didn't realize how great just a normal NBA player is until I saw Damon light up everybody like he was MJ out there. All those guys were pretty classy except for MJ who I had the misfortune of meeting 3 times.

[james evans]

could have saw Dominique Wilkins tonight. He came back home as his high school FINALLY retired his jersey after almost 35 years. I saw a lot of high school players in my day that later went to the nba. Does that count? haha

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Yup. I live in NC.. quite a few NBA players are from around here. Anyone from Duke, UNC, NCSU, Wake Forest, etc Ive seen. Most from the ACC too. I go to every home game at NCSU


When I attended UNCW for a semester I lived about 2 minutes from MJ's beach house too.

[BatManu20]

A few, actually.

-Stood right by the great Bill Russell himself at Houston Hobby Airport a few years ago. His flight was taking off at the gate right next to mine.

-Met Kevin Durant at Fleming's Steakhouse back when he was at Texas and I lived in Austin. He was just a Freshman, nobody knew who he was yet. He was really quiet/shy and I got a pic with him.

-Met LaMarcus Aldridge at Texas Basketball Camp back when he was still in school there. Same with T.J. Ford.

-Walked into a convenience store in Houston about 5 years ago and Patrick Ewing came walking out. He was an Asst. Coach for the Rockets then.

-Met Corey Maggette at an Auto Show out here in LA this year. He's an analyst for the Clippers now.


-Living in LA now, I fly out of LAX usually when I travel, and I've seen a few there:

-JaVale McGee (he was massive, and I'm pretty tall at 6'5).
-Rip Hamilton and Kirk Hinrich both just last year on separate occasions.
-Saw Reggie Miller at the baggage claim at LAX when I first moved out here. He still lives in LA apparently.


As for Spurs, I met David Robinson at a Harlem Globetrotters event in San Antonio when I was in high school.

-Saw Devin Brown at the Best Buy at The Rim in SA and said "What's up" to him :lol

-Met Bruce Bowen at an autograph signing by Guy Caparelli's restaurant in SA right after he retired.

-Met Sean Elliott at a Texas football game. It was 2010 when they were playing K-State IIRC.

-Met Malik Rose at Godiva Chocolate in North Star Mall in SA a few years back.

-Shook Fabricio Oberto's hand at La Cantera while waiting for valet back when he was with the Spurs. He was driving a sick Ferrari too.

-Also met both Michael Finley and George Gervin at a charity event for my mom's work in SA. That was about 7 years ago or so. Gervin was a really friendly dude.

[dirk4mvp]

OJ Mayo at a gas station and Sam Young and Jerry The King Lawler walked in to see the same movie at a theater

[lefty]

- Matt Bonner in Montreal tbh :lol if he counts as an NBA player .........

- Katy Faber ran into Kobe in Colorado

[BatManu20]

Oh, and this barely counts, but the entire Rio Grande Valley Vipers NBA-DL team was on my flight from Houston to South Texas last Christmas Break and Isaiah Cannon (who's a backup PG for Houston now), who was on the team at the time, ripped a rowdy fart when we were waiting to board the plane in Houston :lol All the players busted out laughing except for one of their big men who got pissed :lol

[Pelicans78]

Ran into Tyrus Thomas at a Cracker Barrell in Pearland, TX, south of Houston. He was tall and skinny.

[AussieFanKurt]

- Matt Bonner in Montreal tbh :lol if he counts as an NBA player .........

I :lol'd

[resistanze]

Mugsy Bogues and Dell Curry

[GuerillaBlack]

Met DJ Mbenga on Rodeo Drive back in 09. Met Ron Artest the next day at Hollywood and Highland. When I lived in Dallas and worked at the AAC, I met a ton of players (Dirk, Marion, Corey Brewer, Roddy B, Terry, DeShawn Stevenson, Wade who was in a car asking why do they still hate him in Dallas) and Cuban. Met Clyde Drexler at a Sports Clips when I was a kid. He was just there chilling after getting a cut.

[Spurs9]

I see Bowen and ****** sometimes at Costco. My buddy had seen Birdman and his team at the Palace one night.

Tony Parker and his ex-wife at LAX (eva) and SAT tony picked he up in a LAnd Rover (iirc)
Yao at the Houston airport he was injured at the time (of course) and I went over and wished him a speedy recovery.
Plenty of players at UCLA they worked out there and they used to host the old celebrity MTV RocknJock stuff softball and basketball there so met plenty of Players including GP, Kemp two of my favorite all time guys ...

[The Gemini Method]

J.J. Reddick still in the league? Saw him at the Cosmopolitan. Only reason I knew he was Reddick was this nutty brunette rocking a Duke shirt kept yelling his name and he tried to avoid her. Kobe and D-Fish were practicing at my high school gym back before the summer league one year watched them practice and they gave us some stickers and whatnot. Met A.C. Green and Benoit Benjamin at a fundraiser in L.A.

[djohn2oo8]

Calvin Murphy is an interesting dude to talk to.

[King Emmanuel]

Wow, major props for figuring that one out

[Thebesteva]

Met Luke Walton, dude thought he was Kobe

[Legacy]

Met Malik Rose in '01 in SA while I was a bartender at The Olive Garden. I made him and his date martinis and served them appetizers. He was cool. He smiled a lot. I expected a bigger tip from him, but oh well. :p:

[RsxPiimp]

Saw Shawn Bradley with his wife at Marriott Hotel, he was pushing his kids stroller. That was really fucking akward for him.

Kwame Brown @ TGIF, it was the same day ESPN broke the news he was traded to the Lakers. I guess people just don't care, since he was at the bar watching it live on TV and no one even paid attention to him. He was with his agent. Chum is fucking dark as shit in person, could be the lighting :lol

Saw MJ @ Ritz Carlton near Pentagon Hand. This was his Wizards GM days. He came out of a black Mercedes AMG, he was smoking a cigar. Dude was fucking boss tbh.

[Ditty]

I shook Fabrico Oberto's hand when I used to work at JCPenney's after the 2007 championship, bought a shit load of luggage(really nice guy)

Saw Matt Bonner shopping the clearance rack at Pac Sun at La Cantera during the Phoenix series in 2008, nice guy :lol

When I worked at Nordstrom I've said "Hi" to Bruce Bowen ( nice guy), saw Sean Elliott shopping for men's shoes and saw Kawhi Leonard shopping for True Religion jeans when I was leaving for lunch his rookie year (didn't bother him), and when coming back from lunch one day I saw Richard Jefferson (nice guy) window shopping at one of the nice jewelry stores at La Cantera (ended up getting traded a month later). Supposedly Pop bought a shit load of suits during the lockout in 2011, and Kevin Durant bought a shit load of shoes for his mother during the 2012 conference finals right after I left the store.

Met Cory Joseph (very nice guy) at IHOP after the game two of the Portland series last year, then saw him later that week at chilis across the street and recognized my friends and I :lol

My sister saw Mike Miller, Norris Cole and I forgot the other player or two at Cheesecake factory before game 5 of the 2013 finals, said they were very loud and Mike Miller surprisingly seemed like he wanted to be noticed as he was taking pictures with everyone and kept standing up and walking around the restaurant.

I've heard Danny Green is kind of a dick at times especially when he is with his girl. I've seen him at greenhouse rooftop club with his buddies, he didn't take a picture with my friends on a separate occasion and sometimes he would never tip when he would go to cold stone when my sister worked there for a bit.

[Old School 44]

Sean Marks, his first year with the Spurs. His cousin married a good friend of mine who is originally from San Antonio. They had a small party in San Antonio for her family/friends, after they were married. Sean attended with his wife and newborn. Real nice guy and family, I can see why he eventually ended up with the Spurs front office. Funny thing, when my friend told me her boyfriend's cousin Sean Marks played for the Spurs, I was like "WHO?"

[jeebus]

Met Elliott and Robinson for autographs. Saw that useless shit Finley at a Best Buy during his last year with the Spurms. Saw Paul Pressey regularly in the 90s when he dropped his kids off at my school. Saw Steve Francis in the club pouring champagne on his puffy face and then go on to struggle while drinking bottled water. Not really but God Bless the guy who got it on camera.

[Technique]

Saw Joakim Noah at a club, dude had a 5'9 body guard mean mugging everyone. It was kind of awkward

Have you ever got your picture taken with Dalembert in any clubs?

[JoeTait75]

I walked in front of Gary Trent in the hallway of the MACC Center before a Kent State-Ohio U game in 1995. Does that count?

[JamStone]

Played pick up with a couple. Jerald Honetcutt at the Reilley rec center at Tulane. Lol this fool was a fringe pro basketball player but at least he had a couple contracts. But this ass walks into the gym full of scrub kids who at best played some high school ball and is decked out in his Seattle Supersonics warm-ups like it's pre game, nevermind the fact that he was waived and was not on a current NBA team. Anyway he played some pick up, mind you the next tallest guy on the court may have been like 6-1 and Honeycutt is like 6-7 or 6-8 and this negro is really trying. I mean really trying. Posting up scrubs in a pick up game. Playing man up in a bent knee stance. You would have though he was trying out for the Olympic squad. Couple other guys came thru my time there, Kerry Kittles and Randy Livingston notably. And Chris Owens played a year or two at Tulane before he transferred and I think he made the league. Nice kid.

I also played with Mo Taylor at Michigan one summer in the late 90s. This was after he had left for the league and it was summer term. Generally the CCRB rec center wasn't packed during summer term and usually only enough for one court in the afternoon, again just a bunch of us scrubs. This Ase walks in a gym of about 11 people with his dad and screams he's got next. No shit fuckhead. No one else is waiting. Anyway he and his dad were assholes and my buddy nearly got in a fight with him.

Outside the gym, I've seen Mehnet Okur and Mikki Moore at the club. This was early 2000s both times. Memo was just standing in the corner not talking to anyone, no buddies, no girls for basically the whole time. Mikki I saw at a black bar in downtown Detroit. I walked passed his tall ass and all of a sudden I see him slouch down and he gave me a dapz and a bro hug. I didn't know this fool. You'd think he was a politician on a campaign trail. Seemed nice enough though. Maybe he thought he knew me. I still don't know what was up with that.

[BatManu20]

Completely forgot I met Jalen Rose 2 years ago at the Conga Room at L.A. Live, right across from Staples Center. It was his birthday and he got completely trashed. He had a VIP corner with a bunch of hoes around he and his posse. Towards the end of the night, he came to the bar to get another round of drinks after a lot of people had left. That's when I shook his hand and said what's up to him, but he was so gone that I think he thought I was with his posse or something cause he just said "Good to see you brotha, tonight was crazy" in a slurred voice. I just played along and said something like "Yea it was" then left. Devin Ebanks was there too cause he play for the Lakers at the time, but he was a scrub and nobody really talked to him :lol

Didn't Findog (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=4387) meet James Donaldson at the whorehouse?

Donaldson, he was going to be the Jabbar stopper in the Donald Carter Mavs days. They too like Utah and later Sacramento were after us, but, they too like Utah and later Sacramento decided on putting their hopes & dreams with the officiating. FF to '11, Cuban didn't make that mistake, he told everybody to "shut the fuck up, here's the plan..." The plan:::same plan Boston used in '08=break Gasol's hole & make him cry. It never fails unless you're lucky enough to find an imbecile like Howard and have Perkins fall over like a stone.

Nah, I'm not like that. It just seems all wrong, clamoring to have a conversation with another man you don't even know. It's almost putting yourself in a subservient position, no thank you. But to each their own, I'm certainly not shunning it. It's just not for me.
