I haven't but my sister has (true story not making this up cause if I could I would make something up way better than this...).
My sister was a foreign exchange student, about two years ago, and she went to some town in Germany. While she was there she decided to help them out with the their special olympics. Well believe it or not it was Dirk Nowitzki hometown and he too was helping at the SO. Anyways afterwards he was signing autographs. Now even though I love basketball my sister couldn't care less, so she had no idea who he was. As a matter of fact her friend had to FORCE her to get the autograph. Well it gets even better the friend who forced her to get the autograph actually grew up with Dirk and Dirk is really good friend with her parents and everything. And since my sister is really good friends with those people and there good friends of Dirk I could may be able to get a signature or something.
Well after my sister came back she decided to wear the shirt that Dirk signed. At first I didn't care cause I didn't know that it was Dirks. But then I was confused cause there was only one signature. So I asked her who's it was an she told me it was some guy who was like 7 feet tall and played in the NBA. After looking at it carefully I realized that it was Dirks. How come some people have all the luck?
O and I did some volunteer work once and afterwards we had a raffle. The guy who set up the raffle is good friends with the Yankees manager or something like that. Well I actually had some luck and I won a bat signed by Alex Rodrigus (probably the best prize at the raffle the second best was a ball signed by Sammy Sosa, I hear balls are worth less no matter who signs it), as you can tell by the spelling of the name I don't really care. I hate baseball, but I hear that Alex is pretty good (but is having a bad year). It's a lousville slugger or something like that and the bat would go easily for $300 on ebay. However I don't wanna sell it cause I think that it's pretty cool to have something from an athlete.
If you don't believe me you can email me and I'll send some pics. I don't have the shirt though cause my sister took it to college with her, but the bat is pretty cool.

Yes, I used to live by most of the Houston Rockets (the time they won back to back championships). We lived in a suburb called Sugar Land. It was Mario Ellie, Robert Horry, Vernon Maxwell, Charles Barkley, and a few other NBA players from the spurs.

Yes. I talk to Carlos Arroyo about every other week. I've met a few Bobcats players because I am the only fan in Chicago so when they come in town I'll get courtside seats and talk to them before the game. (The Bobcats players I know are Matt Carroll, Primoz Brezec, and Kevin Burleson).

Tracy Mcgrady, twice. The first time when he was much younger and a little bit immature. The most recent one, just this year, he's a lot more matured and handled himself well.
