I’ve met Chris Paul and his family, they were super nice (and I’m a the court Chris Paul hater (I can’t stand the nut punches and flopping)).
I met Kemba walker and grant williams when they were on the Celtics any both those dudes were awesome.
I met Tim Thomas (bucks forward from the early 2000s) in a shopping mall outside of Milwaukee. He was wearing some sweatsuit that looked like silk pajamas and had a weird triangle pattern on them. Told him to “lit it up” as the bucks had a video on the Jumbotron that would always say that back then and he laughed and sang the verse.

Went to a signing with Rodman in Vegas, he seemed a bit spaced out but was awesome, had him sign the iconic pic of him laying out for a rebound, joked with him about his nWo days in WCW.
Also ran into Larry Sanders from the Bucks at the MKE airport once, just said hey to him, seemed friendly enough, I was always a fan of him during his time here.

Met Magic Johnson at a Sonics game way back in 2003. Everything you’ve ever heard about his smile, charisma and being a great guy is 100000% factual. One of those dudes who treats you like you were his best friend. Awesome guy, and I say all of this as a Celtics fan who hated him growing up.

Was a teen and I saw Ray Allen at the airport, as a hoops (and UConn) fan I perhaps geeked out a bit too much…but he was cool about it.
Shook his hand, only thing I had on me was a Foot Locker coupon in my wallet and he signed it no problem. Shortly after tho I needed to buy new kicks and couldn’t use that coupon (don’t know where it is anymore either)!
Now where the Smush Parker interaction at?

Reminds me of the time my buddy met the Pharcyde and Rahzel from the Roots. He didn’t have anything for them to sign except $100 bill. When we left the concert, he didn’t have any money for gas so he ended up using that bill.Was a teen and I saw Ray Allen at the airport, as a hoops (and UConn) fan I perhaps geeked out a bit too much…but he was cool about it.

Oh yeah you reminded me I met Tim Thomas too when he was on the knicks lmfao nice dude too. I almost met Lebron and got his autography on my Lebron 11s but he was rushed away by his bodyguards... A funny non NBA related player that I met was Randy Johnson at an airport in Arizona iirc. Dude might as well been a NBA player because holy crap was he tall in person. But I was looking at him at the airport terminal and was lowkey looking back and forth because he looked familiar. He noticed me and put his finger on his lip saying SHHHHH. Then waved to me to come over and dap him up.

My favorite athlete to meet (non basketball) was Mike Tyson, did a signing at Caesars, I had purchased two gloves for him to sign, plus the photo op, he signed the gloves, I got my pic with him and went to walk away, and he said nah man you spent all this money on me, we can take more pictures. So I had him do a pic of him pretending to bite my ear off, so that was an awesome experience.
Out in Seattle this past January for the Winter Classic hockey game and was walking around the stadium afterward and Marshawn was walking the opposite direction, nobody else seemed to notice him so I just said “Beastmode” and gave him a fist bump as we passed each other.

My wife’s got a good Tyson one too.
We were in Vegas for our bachelor/bachelorette party (arrived as one group but eventually split ways with our own crew). Along with the “Bride to be” sash and veil, her girls also made her walk around handcuffed to a blow up doll with Justin Bieber’s face slapped on it. Yeah.
They’re walking in Caesars then Tyson passes by, sees her and the doll and stops in his tracks confused: “You marrying this guy?” pointing to Biebs. Wife shocked to see Mike: “Uh…yeah…” Other people then noticed Mike and tried to get a pic but he quickly peaced out (since he makes his bread with those paid photo ops).

I'm not shocked about negative feedback about Pippen because he actually looks like a jerk based on his demeanor. He's been labeled as "No Tippin' Pippen" for his refusal to tip at restaurants. A lot of waiters are familiar with his lack of tipping and try to avoid serving him based on what I read years ago.
I met Magic Johnson back in December 1997. It was amazing to meet my idol. His kindness is the same in real life. I saw him in an El Pollo Loco near UCLA on a Sunday afternoon eating at a table with someone. I only saw him there because I only went in there to use the restroom! I was so excited to see him that I actually f'd up by approaching him while he was seated and eating. But he was nice to me and even introduced the person sitting with him. I basically complimented him. I got his autograph. He was so nice that he even signed a separate autograph for my dad after I requested it. My only regret was approaching him while he was eating. I learned never to approach anyone while they're seated at a restaurant after that. I'm so lucky he didn't blow up on me for that.
