famous people you've met.

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

On Friday night met all the Stars from Fantastic 4, including Jessica Alba :mrgreen:
There's probably more but that'll do for now

Jessica Alba :hump:

anyway, my list mainly contains Carolina Panthers players since the training camp is in my hometown. I tend to go get autographs AND have conversations. Steve Smith, Keary Colbert, Keyshawn Johnson (this one amazed me, he was the first guy to come talk to us last season), Jake Delhomme, John Kasay, and Ricky Proehl are all awesome guys. John Fox is also great. There's been few if any assholes i've met. The most memorable/special for me though I think is the late Sam Mills because he came out of his way to come talk to me and sign a football. It was actually the first time i heard of someone dying i wasnt related to that truly made me sad past the point of sympathy for the people involved.

Wow. Ever tried saying "jerk" to him when he does that to you or the other fans?


Every time I saw him I tried to talk to him. Every time I would say something like "well, great talkin to you Sarunas." Or something like that. Never even a response in his face. I don't know if he just tunes people out, or if he chose to not pay attention.


I've never actually had the privledge to go to an NBA game, so I wouldn't know exactly... but how do you have all these opportunities to meet and talk to players? Are you able to afford courtside seats or something? How else would you get such an opportunity?

My season tickets in Indianapolis are right next to the home tunnel. So I get a chance to talk to them all the time. When they come to Chicago I always get seats right behind the Pacers bench.

The seats by the tunnel in Indy are perfect. I have probably 20 headbands and 50 arm/wrist bands from after games.

For Canadians out there, I got my picture taken with raptors play by play man Chuck Swirsky... after proclaiming to people that I wouldn't treat celebs any different than us normies, I proceeded to bubble all over the guy like a teenage girl at a justin timberlake (or perhaps AKON? :S ) concert. em-bar-assing. The guy is a class act though.

I also met Cathy Jones from this hour has 22 minutes, she totally blew me off though and obviously has her head stuck very far up her ass, from the way she seems to enjoy the smell of her own farts. If you catch my drift.

10.53 ppd isn't really something to be proud about when the majority of your posts are spam, and you've only been here for a month.

Yeah I had an insane post per day count when I was first here but I slowly stopped making random posts and now I only post when I have something constructive say, and thanks for the compliment on the avatar, it was made by my main man c0nr4d.

So was she arrogant? Or something that only you and her know :cheeky: ? The end part kinda threw me off.

Isn't that the Baron Davis jersey though..? Since he wore #1 while the Hornets were still in Charlotte, plus Hammertime has a Baron Davis '99 sig.

Also.. does meeting a potential future NBA pick count? Cause Lasme from my school is climbing up on the ranks.. I guess. :lol:

Charlotte's #1 will always be Muggsy Bogues, but yeah, Hammertime's avatar is a Baron Davis one. They should have retired Muggsy's jersey.

Yup it is Baron Davis for sure, he was my favorite player since day 1 in Charlotte. That wallpaper brings back so many memories of NBA 2K2, on dreamcast.
I'm actually going to make that my wallpaper now :D Thanks Jing!

I've met Kobe, MJ, Jessica Alba, Michael Vick, Earl Boykins, Phil Jackson few months ago, Kobe again last week, and George W. Bush yesterday. On top of that, I live 2 houses away from Kobe.

yeah i figured the avatar's the same pic as the sig. I always tried to draft Baron in NBA Live 2001, but Muggsy is the man.

I wonder what I would do if I ran into Kobe at the mall where i work.
