Has anyone met an NBA player?

Question

Where or how did you meet them?

Answer 1

I was waiting at the airport when Bill Laimbeer came off the plane my dad was on. All I remember was that he was a really big guy.

Answer 2

It was a long time ago, way before the age of terrorism and the Palace of Auburn Hills brawl when the player and fans could get much closer than they can now for a longwer period of time. At the Key Arena in Seattle WA, fans were allowed to stand in the passage way where players would enter and exit the hardwood. THis was in 1993 and 1994. Durring that time I would always be on the visitors end attempting to get autographs and meet ball players. I had the oppurtunity to meet David Robinson, Charles Barkley, Hakeem the dream, and DOminque. Also in 2004 the Soncis held a pregame warm up session for fans that lasted an hour. Durring that hour the players actually practiced and took questions from the audience. After that the palyers of the Sonics stood behind and talked with the fans ( that were close, one of those being me). Finally durring a Sonics game in 2004-05 season I ran into Sam Perkins after a game. He spent a couple minutes talking with me and that was cool. Obviously all the meeting I had were very short since I did not know any pf these players besides their games and they were very bussy people, but I'll cherish the times when I was able to shake the hands of many of these people. Oh yeah, and just last January I was able to meet Gerald Wallace( awesome player) durring a pregame warm up when Charlotte came to town.
