Quite a few. None really that noteworthy.

Drove by Brady Quinn the other day. Broad day light… dolo, wearing a suit and everything. I thought about stopping the car and trying to get an autograph, but felt kind of apprehensive and conflicted about it.

Niqqa so handsome.

True story I've played pickup games at the Y with Chris Paul two different times. Plus seen him on campus at Wake a few times before.

I work at the airport so I've seen quite a few athletes there but I normally let them be and don't bother em.

i've played ball with or against a lot of nba players in high school & college...

Only player i've met that I actually gave a damn about was Jordan... I met him at bike week in Daytona back in 04... Shit was crazy...

we were walking down the street and it was a wednesday night so wasnt nothin but old white people out cuz the younger crowd didnt really show up til the weekend... so I look over in front of the hotel we were passing and see this tall ass black dude and was like oh shit it's Michael jordan! and my boys are like man get the fuck out of here and I stopped and was like MANIMFROMCHICAGOIGREWUPWATCHINGYOUM ANTHISISTHEBESTDAYEVERBLABLABLABLAH ...

and he said real calm "Hey I'd love to sign an autograph but i'm just out here trying to relax"... So like a dumb ass I go "OK' and then he was like "Nice shoes though", cuz I had on my black and white 12s...

I shoulda took them shits off and made him sign them or slapped him with em...

He was at the same club we went to later that night too judging a bikini contest...

Jordan styled on you

Seen Sean Marion downtown once.

Seen Eddy Curry at the mall right before he was drafted. Funny cause my younger bro saw Derrick Rose up there like 2 weeks before the draft.

I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure me and my parents saw Michael Jordan one time. We pulled up next to him and got a quick glimpse and it looked like him. He was driving a purple Blazer. But the real giveaway was his plates. I can't even remember what they said anymore cause this was like 12-13 years ago. Shit said something like AIRJRDN maybe? IDK but it was something you couldn't mistake.

Anyway, my dad started following him. He was following him for a minute. I think we had Jordan shook as hell because my dad was driving pretty aggressive trying to catch back up. Finally I snapped off on my dad and said just stop following him already. LOL, he got a little carried away.

My mom used to be a cocktail waitress at the casino. She saw tons of athletes all the time. Jordan, Pippen, Ditka, some others and I'm sure a bunch she didn't recognize.

SeeSon · 07-24-2008, 04:04 PM

Grant Hill, Luol Deng, JJ Redick, Shelden Williams, Jason Williams, Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy, and Chris Duhon on campus.

I saw Kyle Orton near ESPN zone in between his rookie season and sophomore campaign.

Nam Dekan · 07-24-2008, 04:07 PM

Barry Larkin, went to a BBQ at his house awhile back. My dad worked with his sister and they were pretty good friends.

Ken Griffey Jr and Sr
Glen Robinson
Ron Dayne
Sterling Sharpe
Don Majkowski
Tim Harris..we were staying at a hotel in green bay were a lot of the players were staying at, and i went to go get some ice and Tim Harris came running down the hall in a towel being chased by another player

absolute zero · 07-24-2008, 05:13 PM

played catch with kurt warner before he went pro (He was a qb for the iowa barnstormers and i'm from des moines)

met the lead singer of slipknot (snickers) at the mall. he was a real asshole, but i guess i would be too if my music sucked.

also, iowa is the chicago cubs farm system, so i've seen tons of pros in exhibitions/rehab games (sosa, soto, wood, prior, maddux, etc..)

i think that's about it.

absolute zero · 07-24-2008, 05:16 PM

heh, scratch the slipknot guy. i forgot this was in sports central

CaTchW0n · 07-24-2008, 06:07 PM

Dan Majarle, I was at club tryst out here in vegas and I stepped on this guys toe trying to get to the bar, I look up to say my bad and Im like oh shit "Thunder Dan" what up dog..I said my bad and he gave me a pound.

I played highschool ball against Baron davis while he was at Santa Monica Crossroads and tayshawn prince while he was at dominguez
When I first move out to vegas in 06 after I pay for my pump at the station I come outside and See some chunky ass CLS it was antonio tarver bald head ass

My Girl and I went to the grand opening of the 40/40 and Jay z and Lebron came by my table like two different occasions with body guards and posted up. not with me, but he gave me that aura like yeah this my shit, dude gave me a weird vibe, Lebron was cool as shit though, he danced for like a hour straight he has real good character sort like his commercials. I got autographs from Grant Hill and Shawn marion that night waiting for valet and Grant Hill's wifey Tamia still look the business

in 8th grade (i'm a sophomore in college now, lol), my middle school basketball team played against dan marino's son's team in the championship. we lost, and i was walking to my mom's car at the end of the game.

in the parking lot, i feel a hand touch my shoulder, and i hear, "good game, son. i'm sorry your team lost but you played a hell of a game." i turn around and it's dan fuckin' marino. the best quarterback to never win a superbowl. he signed my backpack and he dipped off in his 745.

bananas! i saw the cornerback with the dreads who played for the patriots (i think he still does). he was at a basketball game at his old high school in fort lauderdale. his phantom on 24's was parked outside.

south florida is basically the home of 25% of the nfl's future (and current) players.

my dad said he saw scottie pippen in line at a grocery store. he said scottie was high as fuck and his eyes were redder than a bitch.
