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.

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.

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.

I was walking from Reese Phifer to Morgan Hall with a back up QB who went to my high school. We met Shaun Alexander in front of Bidgood Hall. He and my friend exchange some jokes about an offensive team meeting they'd been in the day before. He then introdued me to Shaun. He shakes my hand and we talk for a bit....just general chit-chat.
Two weeks later I'm walking the same path and pass him and he calls me by my name, asks how I'm doing and shakes my hand. I was blown away that he could recognize me, much less remember my name.

Met Jerry Glanville in high school. He was at our spring game recruiting a guy on our team back when he was at Hawaii. He came over and shot the shite with us for a good 30 minutes or so and said he'd keep his eye on us when we were upperclassmen. This guy on our team was fairly heavily recruited so there were scouts at just about all of our practices and we had no idea who we were talking to was. Didn't know until our coach told us the next day who we were talking to.

Played against Anthony Steen (Alabama right guard) and Cameron Lawrence (All-SEC linebacker at State) in high school. I remember Cameron being a mean mother fricker and he took out two of our best players on the same play. Steen was big and strong as hell but he was slow and stood up when he came off the ball. Obviously there was more to him. If he got his hands on you, you were done but he wasn't hard to get by. He did block down and ear hole me one time.

Sat next to Trent Richardson in a computer science class his freshman year. He gave me his number because he wanted to come to one of our parties. He said he wanted to come to a party with me because "Julio and him just wanted to hang out with friends and not be the center of attention." I was thinking..yeahhhhh that wont happen at our party.
Anyways, it was after the Tennessee-Bama game where Cody blocked the kick. So I texted him after the game and said Roll Tide and to give me a shout later when he was ready to come over.
He calls me and said he's getting his "hair ready" and he'd be ready in a minute. Then I never hear from him again after that. He calls me the next day and apparently he cracked his tooth during the football game and had to go to the ER. He was pissed he missed the party. He kept asking if I took any girls home and stuff.
After that, we finished up the class together. He called me a few random times after that to shoot the shite. Called me while he was getting tattoos one time.

I went to pick up a bite to eat on my lunch break a few years back so I went to the Subway around the corner from me. I pulled up and noticed this nice newer body Benz out front. I go in and walk up to place my order, look at the menu and then glance over my left shoulder and noticed a guy in a white tee shirt sitting by himself eating. I didn't pay much attention to him and turned back to tell the lady my order when it hit me. I did a double take and realized it was Fred Smoot sitting by himself. I placed my order, payed for my food and right about then he was finishing up eating. I walked over, shook his hand and told him how much I enjoyed watching him play. We talked for a few minutes about his future in the NFL(he had just been cut by the Redskins). He was a pretty cool guy, really easy to talk to.
eta: He invited me to go to some party on his boat but I had stuff going on that weekend. I told him I'd catch him on the next one but I don't think he's had anymore since then.
