</div>We only said a few words to each other and from what I heard he sounded fine. He obviously had an accent but I understood him say "How are you"
 
I have had a conversation with Chucky Atkins when he played for the Celtics a couple years ago. He was a real cool guy, very nice. We talked for a couple minutes, actually. He asked me where I was from, if I played or not, what position I played, etc. Unfortunately, I did not have a pen or marker on me, so I couldn't get his autograph, but it was awesome talking to him.

Also, Delonte West has said a couple words to me lol. This doesn't count as a conversation, but I had floor seats, and he was dribbling a ball close to where we were, so I screamed "DELONTE!" He turned, looked at me, said "hey." Then I held out a pen and a peice of paper, and he said "after the game, bro."

I actually got to talk to AK47 for a minutue or two... It kept sounding like he was saying 'I eat brick now' :dunno:
 
I talked to Barry Sanders for a couple minutes at his book signing. Pretty humble and friendly guy.
 
I have talked to Brandon Lloyd lol. He was actually going out with one of my moms friend's daughter. He and I with my other cousins watched the old batman series in a hotel where we were at lol. He loves Batman. Unfortuanetly he is no longer dating the same girl ever since he went on to the NFL!

I talked to and played basketball against Shawn Marion. I also talked to Kevin Johnson when I was younger because my grandma knew him.

I've performed with robin williams at an improv jam in LA and met him various other times.I've talked to Derek Fisher, Adonal Foyle, and Leon Powe a bit at campsI've spoken with poet laureate Billy Collins, who called me "a deep Motherf*cker"I've chilled with the three best saxophone players on the planet - Brecker, Liebman, and Wayne as well as Journey (a very famous band for those who aren't old enough) drummer Steve SmithI've poured drinks for (and spoken a bit to) moviestars Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver when they performed at the famous coronet theater in LA (where I was the interim stage manager)I'm friends with canadian best selling author Wayson ChoyI've talked to Daniel Handler ("Lemony Snicket") as wellthat's all I can think of for now
 
If I met Doc Rivers I have no idea what I would say, but all I know is he would probably jack me the F*ck up after

If I met Sam Mitchell, I would tell him that he's a dumbass and that he needs to play Mo Pete more.
 
I've met Sebastian Telfair, Tony Allen, Kendrick Perkins, I was supposed to meet Delonte but I just missed him, and I've seen Pierce out in Boston but he's got 4 bodyguards so he's tough to get close to. The guy I was with talked to him because Paul knows him, but he wasn't signing and he just left.
 
They go downtown after the game, I know a guy who knows them so he just asks them where they're going and we just head down there after, they were at PF Chang's last time I went.
 
That reminds me one time I met Tommy while me and my friend were eating at Fours after the game. Me and my friend were already there eating and he walks in with some redhead and saw us with our jerseys on and asked if we were at the game. We chatted with him for a few and unfortunately we had to go catch the train but he was a pretty cool dude. BTW: I still haven't picked up on this, but who the F*ck is the redhead from Needham.
 
lmao that's exactly what I thought when I read that, who the F*ck is the redhead in Needham?
 
I've passed Pudge Rodriguez outside The Ballpark in Arlington (aka Amerisuck Field), saw Deion Sanders at Sbarro's in Dallas... can't think of any others, but I feel like there are some others.Other than thatDIRKf*ckingNOWITZKI(we took an awkward picture)end topic<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ElMaster @ Dec 28 2006, 02:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>The only celebrity I've talked to is a skateboarder named Rodney Mullen.

Good experience.</div>He is awesome... what he does is just incredible. I don't think anyone else can do that. He invented a lot of cool skateboarding stuff. I wish I could meet him.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BrewCityBuck @ Dec 28 2006, 04:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>What was it like talking to DeSagana Diop?

</div>He said, "Ooo eee, Ooo ah ah, ting tang, willa walla bing bang!"holy hell I can't stop laughing
 
Sebastian Telfair was at my game in Brooklyn. He didn't get to watch that much because of being surrounded by people and signing autographs. This happened 2005 summer. He said, " Hey, you had really good game". Then gave my a high 5. Not really a conversation though haha. After that I got an autograph.

Is that you by any chance?</div>Sadly (or thankfully), no. The picture is not online, and I'm not fat enough to be that guy. I will scan the picture in a week or so... maybe.
 
I love those pictures of Dirk and Nash, I was particularly hating the Mavs when I first saw them for knocking someone out of the playoffs, so they were entertaining. On a side note, that guy does look like a complete dumbass redneck, so I'd definitely go with the thankfully there.
