TheNorthCydeRises Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I was at a party at the Fox theatre hosted by Jezebel magazine...Isaiah Rider was there. He was real cool and talked to me and my father for like 20 minutes. Since then I've refused to bash him. I wonder if he is still selling cell phones?

Moderators AHF Posted June 16, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I don't have any good NBA player stories but I did get to spend about 30 minutes with Pele and then meet Hank Aaron on the same day. Nice pictures with both of them and autographs (multiple from Pele and one from Hammering Hank). That was a lot of fun as an 11 year old! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted June 16, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I often catch Hawks and Dream players over around Atlantic Station (a Falcon or two on occasion, although I don't always recognize them right away). Last Hawk I shook hands with was Goose Ayón, the day before the Hawks played Game 7 against the Pacers. I probably jinxed us, lol! He had Hawks gear on (tee and warmup), but it's hard not to recognize him either way. We briefly agreed how tough it was to put the Pacers away. I offered up best wishes for him healing up quickly and good luck with the Mexico National Team. ~lw3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I saw Ayón he was storming the wall from the north, concerned about winter still coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff_Man Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I did shots with Charles Barkley at a bar in Philly. He wanted to do a Lemon Drop and I made fun of him. Luckily he laughed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS17Fanboy Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) [EDITED]. Does that count? No srsly. Closest thing to ever rubbing shoulders with an NBA player was playing point on the youth team of the Eiffel Towers Nijmegen, a 1st league Dutch baskeball team, who then moved to Breda, Holland and then signed Chris Copeland for a year. Who I never met or see play. But its kinda cool I went playing for a team which had an NBA player. Comming to think of it though I did see Derrick Phelps allot when the Eiffel Towers where still in Nijmegen. Not really NBA, but NCAA champ for the NC Tar Heels alongside George Lynch, and still has the NC steals record ahead of Michael Jordan. And so the ball is round, as they say in soccer...
