I got Jerome Brown's (RIP) autograph once, he was a really nice guy

Also a local guy around the way use to bring Ron Anderson (Sixers) around the courts we played at, this was when Ron was washed up and here this guy bringin him around expects us to be impressed with Ron.

The second play of the game this kid who was in high school throws a dunk down on Ron and embarasses the shit out of him, Ron tried D'in up and was getting owned on every play, and this is by a kid who was decent at best

I also got an autograph from a Jeff Manto, whoever the fuck that is

Mike Tyson (my most memorable and longest experience)

Larry Bird (Saw him at a Heat game years ago. Shook his hand and allג¦)
Ken Griffey Jr. (A sweet kid)
Mike Mussina (Nice guy, met him at a Spring training game and got an autograph)
Rafael Palmerio (Mean guy, rude and self-centered. Didnגt want to really sign autographs and was moody. Told him he should be thankful he isnגt in Cuba)

Cris Carter (actually bump into him at the mall monthly)
Keith Byars (sat next to him while seeing the movie גGoג)
Steffi Graf (assisted her when I was working in the Ralph Lauren Polo store in the late 90גs)
Wilt Chamberlain (asked him for an autograph and then told him he was a prick at the ג90 US Open)

Hell yeah, Temple-alum!

I met Adam Oates in a PF Changs in Rockville. Definitely a nice dude considering in the same situation, Melo would have sent his goons on me.
Hi-fived Brendan Haywood after a wiz win in a nearby bar saying "you're killin' em!" He proceeded to suck.
I've been to several Orioles autograph sessions, meeting luminous players like Jeff Conine, Sidney Ponson, Melvin Mora, David Segui (dick), Jason Johnson, BJ Surhoff, Mike Flanagan, Mike Bordick, Tony Batista, Brian Roberts, etc etc.
Hung out in the Verizon Center baller-baller suite with Jason Cambell (pics have been seen here).

Dango will pwn this thread, but I want to hear more "I got drunk with" stories.

agreed. however the molten cake at grand lux is greater than any other desert at cheescake. the bread at grand lux sucks. that brown bread at the factory is probably top 3 restuarant breads.

I meet pretty much everyone on the Tampa Bay Lighting roster between 94 to 96. I was on a friendly basis with Enrico Chincony (sp) because of awesome t-shirts i made of him so he would let us in the lighting club where the players hung out after the games.

I have also meet a bunch of Phili players but have no idea who any of them though Dango727's brother.

I played basketball with Magic Johnson in the summer of 05 in a charity game.

I don't remember this but i was told i meet Walter Payton as a kid though my Dads boss who was neigbhor or friend.

Frank Middleton cant remember where though.

So Test at an Indian Casino

Talked shit to Sam Walch at the movie theater i worked at in Highschool. I also saw Warren Sapp and a few other Bucs players there too.

I knew a few former Seminoles while at FSU

I have meet numerous wrestlers such as Hogan a huge fucking dick, Edge, John Cena, King Kong Bundy, Edge, and Christian. But two stand out as really good guys Chris Jericho and Big Show who i talked with at Best Buy all the time when i worked there a few years back.

I had a few guys in my classes like Andrew DeClerq and Kevin Carter. Jason "White Widow" Williams used to get his sticky icky from my neighbor. Oh yeah and when I worked in academic advising, it was always the Jevon Kearse/Alex Brown late hour. I found out in Boston that Tom Brady hates the people, Lawyer Malloy and Troy Brown love the people, and Walter McCarty loves Jesus and lets e'rybody know it.

Crowning moment in recent memory is botherin Jared "Battleship" Lorenzen, backup fat quarterback of the Giants on his weight and his inability to beat the Gators the day after the Tostito' Frijole bowl.

Went to high school with and played football with John Wallace's little brother. Rode around in his Range with hydrolics after practice and shit. My friends Dad was having a New Years party once and he came over (they lived in the same development) and gave him a bag of pot. Pretty much endless funny stories dealing with the Wallace fam.... Kippie getting shot and riding his bike into a grocery store and asking for a band-aid...

Got to meet and hang out with PJ Brown in New Orleans. He is a nice fella. Told some hilarious stories about Karl Malone.

Met and drank with Chris "Bridman" Anderson a few months after his suspension. I asked him if he would be playing for the Hornets again, and it turned out he was drinking with George Shinn's son.

Went to school/was aquantences with (I worked in the athletic dept) JP Losman, Pat Ramsey, Meweldi Moore, Shaun King.

Had the pleasure of driving Larry Eustachy around for a day.

Justin Morneau and Joe Mauer when they played in Rochester.

Victor Page.

A bunch of Bobcats/Panthers.

I saw Pirates of the Carribean with Keyshawn Johnson during camp.

Matt Carroll lives close by.
