I've actually met a couple knicks over the years. I'm not one of those people that acts too cool if I see a celebrity. If I actually mess with them, I be kinda geeked can't even front. Some players I've met:
If anybody remembers Basketball City, I used to play there when I was younger at different leagues and camps. I used to stay for hours after everyone left and after one of the league games, I see Penny Hardaway walk in. Im like 15 or 16 at the time. After ten minutes, I approach him, say I'm a fan, and go to walk away. His trainer asked if I wanted to shoot around and we ended up having a shootout. On everything, granted he was washed by this point
in his career, I beat penny back to back. He ended up signing my shirt and going back to his drills. Cool *** dude though.
Also met Tim Thomas at a camp he had, which was also at BBC. Won a bunch of awards and he asked if I wanted to play for Tim Thomas all stars, some AAU team he ran. Was never really a fan plus dude showed up only that day for like 10 minutes at his own camp, but he seemed cool enough.
Met John Wallace at a Knicks event last year when they were having viewing parties cuz of the MSG TWC dispute. Nobody knew who he was, but knew he had to be somebody to be that tall. Had to keep asking who had seen He Got Game and be like "remember dude who was like I GOT HOPS I GOT HOPS? Yeah, that's him. Most people still didn't know who he was lol.
Met Clyde at some NBA event at the south street seaport 2 summers ago. Grooviest ************ ever, even in real life. Told him he was a legend, got an autograph, and went about my business. Was so starstruck didn't even ask for a pic.
Sorry for the essay, at work with nothing better to do.
