Damn near every Suns player from like '95-'06

Top 3 coolest
Steve Nash(Met him twice--around the time he got Drafted in '97 and again when he came back to the Suns in '04--Was the same dude both times--coolest, most down to earth player I've ever met)
Shawn Marion(Same as Nash---down to earth like a muthafukka)
Dan Majerle(Just like Marion & Nash--Nice guy)

Top 3 bytch made
Amare(It was early in his career and he acted real insecure & standoffish---I was with my brother and a few of his boys---they actually started going in and roasting the fukk out of Amare--simply for acting like a schizophrenic bytch.You know how people act when they're convinced that everybody's trying to hate on them? That's Amare.It can make you come off as closed in/ defensive for no reason.Just rubs people the wrong way.Like I said, that was when he first got drafted.He hadn't even blown up yet.Him being around our same age/looking like a classmate made it easy to start roasting.)

Kevin Johnson(Hate it had to be KJ.One of my all time favorite Suns on the court, but the man is a true politician---He's cool when the cameras are rolling.If not, he's a haughty, snobby, bytch made dude.I used to think Barkley was the bad guy when I heard about their lil beef as a kid.I can see why KJ may have grated on him)

Oliver Miller(Big grouchy nikka---I think all the fat jokes made him go into a shell)


Non Suns--Jr Seau RIP-(Came to my school and talked to my class when I was in 3rd grade.Nice dude)

Simeon Rice(I'd throw him in the a$$hole category.You ask this dude for an autograph, he'll act like u're not even there)



And a bunch of other obscure dudes..the Trevor Ruffin's--Elliot Perry's

Seen Jeff Green in the airport coming back from Orlando...nikka was taller than I expected....didn't say shyt to him but I don't think anybody recognized him except me :mjcry: Looked completely shocked when he realized I knew who he was.

Weird enough I saw Kevin Hart in Finish Line on that same trip and he was completely quiet and slightly standoffish:ld:

I thought the same shyt when I met him---They have him listed at 6'10, but he looked no taller than 6'7 tops.


I forgot to mention I met George Gervin at LAX(airport).this was back in like '99.

I wouldn't say he was an a$$hole or extra nice---more like one of them poker face dudes.Never too high, never too low.


It was strange how it happened because I was sitting there talking point guards with another dude.We were having a debate about which pg would you rather build around---Gary Payton or Jason Kidd?

He said Payton, but I went with Kidd because I thought he had more potential/was a pure point.

I get up to go to the bathroom and further down the hall I see a tall lanky nikka posted up against the wall.As I got closer, I recognized that it was George Gervin.Went up to him, said hello, u're George Gervin? etc ect....


Since the debate was still heavy on my mind, I asked Iceman who he'd pick ..Kidd or Payton? "I'd go with Payton, but Kidd's a good young guard" ---I was I lil disappointed---I figured Iceman would be smarter than that:shaq2:

Peyton Manning- was maybe the second worst interaction. Came thru the Pentagon and had folks lined up outside the boss's office waiting for autographs and pics. Dude looked down at the ground and walked pass everybody. Military members included. Went to Popeyes instead

Curt Schilling- met him at work too. He looks exactly what you think a fat ass Teaparty supporter would look like

Eddie Jones- saw him at a Footlocker in Miramar....I've told that story a hundred times on here and the hamster tho

Kobe- met him at the Team USA practice in DC before the last Olympics

Ray Buchanan- met him and almost got into a fight with his crew at Magic City (thank God we didn't, he was rollin with BMF dudes)

Matt Stafford, London Fletcher, Lamont Peterson, Unibrow, James Harden, a bunch of dudes from FSU that went to the league from around 96-99, a few cats from KState football team from 98-00, George Brett, Frank White, and probably the greatest to me was Buck O'Neil

the people with the massive lists, with A-list athletes listed everywhere ... provide some fukking context to when you 'met' please

anyways... Bo Jackson, Charles Oakley, John Paxson, Alex Brown really the only ones that come to mind (where I actually had a conversation with them)
had a homie who went to school with Alex Brown....say they use to call him Zeus

I met Stephon Marbury when I was at a Boston Market in Mamaroneck. I didn't notice him at first but realized when I saw his tattoo on his head. This was after his first season in China and I guess he was trying to keep a low profile.

I didn't want to be a dikk and ask him about his time in China or the Knicks. Just a quick convo about the service while on line. He did order bags of food which fukked it up for everyone.

I have been lucky to meet a bunch through a auto dealer chain I used to run. Everything from NFL, NBA,and NHL. Mostly from the tristate area Some off the top of my head. (I am a huge Rangers fan so pretty much all the players if/when I can)

Ewing
Kidd
(HUGE douchebag, I cant stress to you what a dikk this dude was in person and on multiple occasions) Got to a point my boss wouldnt even sell him a Benz, because he didnt want him and his wife (At the time) coming there for service.


NFL
JPP
Eli
(Nice dude, very funny actually)
Archie Manning (awesome guy, took pics with me and a friend, gave us signed mini helmets)
Brandon Jacobs, anyone in this area have met him hes always out and about. Dude has like an 900hp GTR that is crazy, he races locals. Beat my friends GSXR750 lol. He chills at Boom Burger a lot we were with him there for the last Pacman fight.
Cotchery when he was on the jets, I ran into him in a couple shady places we chill at in paterson. 1 night almost got into a huge fight with his people. He chills with this dude hes this skinny indian guy like 6'2'' 170, he loos/acts black, thinks hes tough shyt. He is one of the biggest pieces of shyt that you will ever cross paths with, one of those dudes that you can just sit back and watch how they act/treat people and you will want to choke him out without even talking to him. Cotchery swore he was the shyt and his boy was causing crazy problems, my friend was a bouncer at this place we were at and they tried to step to him, all hell broke loose. And this skinny indian prick quickly went from 100-0, quickly went to the back of the pile of people talking shyt, another friend grabbed him by the throat and everyone calmed down quick as hell :stopitslime:

NHL
Graves
Brodeur
Lundqvist
Richter
Messier
Leetch
Jagr
(One of the funniest people I've met, I wanted a signed stick from him, he went into his back pocket and pulled out a crossword puzzle he was working on, said finish it before we finish this fan night and I will give you one) I swear I finished like 12 of the 50+, (I was googling my ass off and still failed) lol He started to crack up but still had the trainer go get me a stick and signed it.

There are more, cant think of any good ones though
