Dr. Feelgood Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I met Jermaine O'Neal back when he was a rookie with the Blazers. I got his autograph on a Blazers hat. I was pretty young back then and was stupid and wore the hat around everywhere I went. Needless to say, the autograph became faded and I eventually lost the hat. Oh well. Then I got the autograph of some WNBA player back when Portland had a team. Some white old chick who didn't do [expletive] in the league. I think that's it, not sure if I've met anyone else. Oh, my mom got to drive Clyde Drexler's Acura NSX. She used to work at a dealership and he came to that dealership. She got to also hand wash it inside and out. She got his autograph and gave it to my cousin...who was young and dumb and lost that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Bobby Jones(former Sixer all-star in the 80s)- he was at my friends church so I met him at a breakfeast thing where you could just talk to him and stuff. I remember it was the morning after the Spectrum game this year as I was wearing the shirt . He gave me some tips on defense and was just overall a really great guy. Brian Dawkins- I saw him at the gym doing his workout on April 1st this year. I'll always remember that because noone would believe me and thought I was April Fooling them. I felt like such a badass though working out in the same room as Brian Dawkins hahha. I didn't want to bug him too much because he had headphones on so I got the impression he didn't want to be bothered, but I had to meet my favorite football player of all-time . I just shook his hand, wished him luck in Denver, asked him why he was still in the area, and let him know of my mancrush on him. Winston Justice- at yankees stadium for the Phils-Yankees game a few months ago. Flyers and Phightins were there as well. I basically just shook his hand and told him to win a superbowl this year lol. dude was mammothly. And I'm pretty sure Akers went to my school before when I was little, but I don't remember it at all. I got a signed team photo though with him and Mike Bartrum's signatures on it. I mind as well add this even though it isnt me, but my dad worked at the Marriot when he was younger and it was right next to the Philly airport. He would see a lot of the visting teams players and personnell come in. The only sport he really likes though is football so he didn't know them by names, but he says he met Larry Bird and exchanged some words with him.

JYD Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Sergio Garcia - Well, IDK if this counts, but he acknowledged me on the driving range when I said "Lets go Serg!" as he was leaving and he's like "Thanks man!" Then I followed his group on the course, and after one hole I was like "great birdie!" and he laughed, remembering me, and he's like "thank you bro," and gave me a 'fist bump.' He was real chill, and the most friendly PGA Tour golfer that was at the entire tournament. idk i think that's pretty much it...but what i want to know is were the athletes/celebrities cool or reluctant to meet/talk to you? No one has mentioned that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldChili Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Ronnie Brewer - Came to my school once, shook hands with him. This was back when he was playing for the University of Arkansas. Jay Leno - Universal Theme Park in L.A., doing something for his show. About three to four years ago. Katie Holmes - Hotel (The Willard InterContinental) in Washington D.C. - Labor Day Weekend of this year. I think that's about it, but I might be forgetting someone...

OSUBucksfan09 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 O forgot, I have met Brian Johnson about five times.He lives on bird key and goes to my workplace all the time to eat.For those who don't know who he is, he is the lead singer for ACDC. Also I have met Jerry Springer, as he lives there too and came out to my work for lunch once. Funny cuz the waitress who was waiting on him kept asking me if she should go up to him and be like "Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry" lol.

Camby23Land Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Besides ones I just got the autograph of... David Stern - Before a Nuggets/Wolves playoff game, asked him who he was rooting for, he said "the refs". From that day on, I hated him.Nick Fazekas - Was a star in college playing at Nevada, got drafted by the Mavs, playing overseas now. He went to the same high school as I go to, met him at these basketball camps the school had, played a mess around game of "HORSE" with him.Charles Barkley - Was in a clubhouse at this celebrity golf tournament, walked past him as he was slouched in a char with a beer in hand, he said to my brother and I "You kids want a beer?"Jameer Nelson - In 2004, I went to the Final Four. Was at a food court and he sat down at the table next to me, nice guy. All I can think of at the moment.
