my dad use to be business partners with Dave Corzine of the chicago bulls. He use to come over all the time. I went into the bulls locker room back in like 88-89. Met jordan got a bunch of autographs.

Also my dad use to own a sports card store, so we went to A grip of card shows. Most memorible meeting was muhammad ali.

But ive met a lot of athletes, nothing really recent but back when i was age 6-15 from like 88-97

I've never met a pro athlete, I've seen many out places though, just in situations where I didn't want to bother them, like when Alan Paige is running around the lake or something.

As far as collections go, my mom and I have an extremely sick baseball stuff collection, bordering on insanity. I have no idea how many baseball cards my mom has, at least enough to fill a room.

I might have said hi to Bert Blyleven in passing once.

Allen Iverson during his rookie year. I was in high school and our varsity hoops coach took a bunch of us to an Indiana Pacers game. They played the 76ers. And my coach knew one of the Pacers assistant coaches so we waited after the game for a long time for him to come out. Well, Iverson comes out to meet with a couple people who were waitin on him. He was camoflaged out and was carrying his game worn shoes. I wanted those so bad. They were the Questions. Anyways, everyone knew I was a HUGE Iverson fan, so I just went up to him and had him sign one of his cards I had. I also got a picture with him. I need to find that pic and scan it in.

Also met AJ Hawk of the Green Bay Packers and Ohio State. I've known him since he was a little kid. So obviously I've MET him.

I forgot Dan Marino, and Curtis Martin.

MGP · Post by **MGP** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 3:58 pm

I have played basketball with or against:

Sebastian Telfair
Al Harrington
Pops Nana Mensah Basu
Olu Babaloua
DuJuan Wagner (crossed him up bad too, )
Samuel Dalembert

I am sure I forgot a few.

Oh, haha... Tim Legler came to the projects and brought Matt Maloney with him. YES! Oh my God it was hillarious. The rim was 9'10 and I dunked on Legler who talked mad shit that he couldn't back uo. Maloney got beaten up very badly.

Legler used to live in Absecon, NJ, which is one town over from AC. He is the biggest prick I've ever met. People were throwing 40 oz. bottles at him and shit.

I have met and had long talks about baseball with:

- Bob Feller (I was the only person at a card show who knew who he was. I knew so much about him it almost made him cry)

- Mitch Williams (he's a lot bigger than he looks on TV)

- Steve Carlton.

I also met Allen Iverson at an All-Star Game I played in 1997 in the First Union Center (as it was called then, also known as the F-U Center, LOL). He saw me cross up DuJuan, who he came personally to see at the time because even in the 8th grade everyone was talking about Wagner maybe being the next NBA great, and he gave me daps for it. There is NO way Iverson is 6'0 or 6'1 as he is listed at either because I am 5'7 and he had MAYBE three inches on me. It he isn't 5'10 he's really 5'9.
