1) getting to game 7 of the 2010 nba finals early and running down to the court while the players were taking part of shoot around and telling paul pierce to eat a bag of dicks. he then turns around and replies back with "no, YOU eat a bag of dicks" and then goes about his business

2) same game. a little later. i was in my seat which was right under magic johnsons box. i saw him sitting by himself so i look up and yell "MAGIC!!" he looks down and goes "hey whats up big guy" which i wasnt expecting at all. we then spoke for like 10 minutes about the series and what not

3) my grandmother has been a laker season ticket holder since the late 70s. 6 or so years ago i went with her to a season ticket holder event. later on, they took us into a meeting room type room inside staples giving a pitch about renewing tickets. my grandmother went to renew and i sat at a chair by myself while she did this. during this, a man came out of a door and sat next to me. he then proceeds to strike up a conversation with me and we spoke for like 20 minutes. that man was jerry buss

4) my freshman year in high school (2008) i went to the UCLA/USC bball game at the galen center with some buddies. USC upset UCLA at pauley earlier and UCLA entered this game ranked 4th in the country iirc. we sat 2 rows from the court and USC was winning by 2 with like 4 mins left and i shouted "we cant let these frickers win again" as darren collison was passing by. as he passed by, he looked at me and gave me a nod and proceeded to lead the bruins to a 8 pt victory iirc. as UCLA walked off the court, darren went over to kevin love, said something to him, and they both just looked at me, pointed at me, and nodded their heads

Dude threw a drink on a lady sitting next to me, then pushed her by the face. Before I realized it, I decked him and knocked him out. Before I knew it, there was a huge shadow behind me, when I turned around it was Shaquille Oneal. He shook my hand and told me he saw it happen and was on his way to deal with the a-hole who pushed the lady by the face.

This story seems real and not made up.

I've met Phil Jackson, Shaq, Herschel Walker, and my childhood hero Tommy Hodson. All unforgettable encounters.

I lived close to Bart Starr growing up so I would see him everywhere and even asked for an autograph one time and he took my address and sent me a nice picture of him at the Packers signed to me.

Took a piss next to Lee Corso, pre-stroke, so I didn't get sprayed.

He probably wants to tell it every chance he gets.

I was sitting on New Smyrna Beach a few years ago, and Lee Corso walked by. So, I asked him for a picture. He graciously agreed to take a picture and stayed around talking football for 10-15 minutes. He was extremely nice and genuine.

Walked into the apple store one day and had my iphone being worked on by a guy at the genius bar. Saw a black guy sitting next to me wanting to get a new phone. The guy working with him then stated, "You play football with a plastic helmet, not a rubber one. You need a plastic case on your phone for the same reason." I turned to my left and Larry Fitzgerald was sitting right next to me.
