I used to be a very activeSpurs fan back in the day.
I didn't even realize how much so until I went to make this post.
Steve Kerr was the first basketball player I ever saw in person. He came into the Magic Time Machine when I worked there- was dropping his son off at a party.
He was really nice, stopped to say o to all of us.
I met Manu for the first time at Ihop at an autograph signing. In line for that I met one of my best friends to this day. That was four years ago now.
About a month after that signing, I went to another Manu appearance and met Ginofan. She was in front of me in the line.
I met Sho at the the railing before a Spurs vs Pistons game March 25, 2004.
I met Timmy that day too, although I was too awe inspired to say much to him other than thank you for the autograph.
He signed the plastic case of my card. I was too in awe of him to successfully remove the card from the case and would never have dreamt of asking him to wait, so I just handed him the whole thing.
I almost met Hedo that day. He was coming down the railing line towards me, but made himself scarce when everyone started clamoring over Timmy.
Hedo is my only favorite player that I haven't met- yet.
I almost met Pop at a meet and greet in October 2004 ( this was before an open practice. I was blessed to be allowed in, unexpectedly.)
I was next in line to meet Pop when I saw that Rasho had come out and was greeting fans along with Sean Marks.
I ditched Pop to go talk to Rasho.
That same day I talked to Malik for the first time, also Bruce.
Beno, I met when I accidentally ran into the entire team in the lobby of the hotel they were staying in Houston.
Come to think of it, I spoke to Pop and Coach Carlesimo that day, as well as Sean Elliott.
( Did I spell it right SFIE?)
The whole team was so nice to me that day. It was the only day I was really happy to be living in Houston.
My mom met Bruce Bowen a few summers ago. They had the same connecting flight out of Houston.
I can't remember where I first met Robert Horry. I know it took me most of his first season to warm up to the idea of him being a Spur.
The first time I saw him in person, at the railing in 2004 when I met Sho and Timmy, I purposefully did not speak to Robert.
I say that only because now I am a huge fan of his. He completely won me over. I never thought the day would come when I would be sad to see Robert Horry retire.
I've never officially met Tony Parker.
I met Mango Tree at one of his charity run walks.
I met Devin Brown at the grand opening of Malik's second restaurant grand opening.
Aw... youth!
