I live in LA and have seen a ton of celebrities. I am the worst at recognizing people so I generally have other people point them out to me. The only ones I have recognized are Derek Jeter and Kobe. Jeter was at a club in Hollywood and I saw him in the bathroom. I didn't say shyt to him because I just don't think a man should ever really approach another man like a star struck fan. My boy however said "Derek Jeter?" and Jeter just said "No" and walked out.

My other friend asked Kobe for a pic in the parking lot after he finished eating at the Pantry downtown. Kobe said no to the pic but when my boy asked if he could give him a handshake, Kobe said sure and gave him a bro hug.

My brother ran into Adrian Peterson in Vegas on memorial day weekend. My brother doesn't watch football so he didn't recognize him at 7-11 in line. AP told the clerk that my brother got it as he was paying for his things (bro was behind him) and my brother just laughed. AP then paid for his things and my brothers Monster drink. There are some cool athletes out there.

I've meet a few famous people, but i always act very cordial. Bun B, James Harden, Corey holcombe, bunch of cats. All were cool.

Saw Tom Cruise in Paris, but he was surrounded by literally hundreds of hysterical chicks so i kept it moving.

That's what they get for treating a regular human being like a demi god. I've seen dozens of famous athletes and stars and not once did I ever have the urge to get an autograph from them or even say "what up."

They bleed just like you and I.

True...altho I do walk up , say what up, admire you game and keep doing ya thing
a lil soul brotha handshake and keep it moving....I never ask for an autograph...that some hoe ass shyt for a grown man to do

I agree 100%, but, you have to deal with ppl callin' you an "a$$hole" because you can't dedicate all your time to them

No, but you always have choices. And regardless of the situation even if you're in a " not so good mood" you can always handle situations respectfully. If some crazy people want to act disrespectful that's on them and speaks volumes of them at least you can have peace of mind knowing you did the right thing. In this instance Prime acted like a child

If you weren't a cute little Black girl or a grown female that was atleast a 9 you were gettin hit with the Heisman...

I never seen so many grown men get their dreams crushed thinking they were about to take a pic with their idol and Prime wasn't having it... IF they were lucky he would shove them out of his way.. But most of the time he would look past them like they didn't exist or say something to humilate them infront of their wives and kids..



Friday night at the Marriott after a coaches symposium we're walking through the lobby and a middle aged Puerto Rican woman walks up with her 12 year old son asking for a pic. Deion fully extends his arms, grabs lil man by the shoulders flings him out of his path and walks to a group of dime hoes to take group photos.

The Puerto Rican moms face was like

Her son was like

Deion was like

And the rest of us coaches were like

I'm thinking maybe that was just a outlier.. But time and time again people were gettin sonned...Especially if you were non Black...


A chubby cheerful Korean dad with a Deion Cowboys jersey walks up eagerly with a camera and a pen...

Korean dad-"Deion, Deion, I love you bro---"

Deion- "Fukk's wrong with you n1gga!?!?"

*keeps walkin

Middle age white man stands inches from his face smiling and telling him how much he loved him..

Deion almost literally looking through dude like he wasnt there for like 45 awkward seconds until dude finally gave up and just walked away..

By Sunday evening it became a sport for me watching the different ways people were gonna get emasculated by him...

It got to the point that everywhere we went we were followed by a chorus of...

"You ain't sh1t Deion!!" "Fukk you n1gga" "You a fagggot Prime I'm tellin everyone you ain't sh1t" "I hope you die and go to hell!!!" "I thought you were a CHRISTIAN?!?!?"

It was so bad that my mom came to a game and was gonna ask to take a pic and I told her to chill.. Because if he carried her like he did everyone else, I would have been on the news for getting into a physical confrontation with a hall of famer..

So I guess there is something about greatness in one area that makes you an awful human being..

5 star thread.
