I used to run into the players all the time when I was still in Sac.
Bibby, his posse, Vlade, Webber, and Tyra at Frys (on different occasions).
Nick Anderson at Bel Air supermark (sharp dresser, btw).
Olden Polynice at Big 5 (dude is much, much bigger in person).
Brent Price at Mackie Ds (he's not as big as I thought).
Lionel Simmons in Sharis.
Duane Caswell and Brian Grant at Arden Mall (nice guys).
LaBradford Smith at Home Express (remember that store?).
Charles Barkely at a Manhattan intersection. Me and a large group of pedestrians were crossing the street at rush hour Time Square, then came Barkley in a dark benz speeding like a maniac, made a right turn, and slammed on the brakes when he noticed the street crossers. Everyone froze, people cleared out for him even though pedestrians had the right of way; not because he's Charles Barkely, but because you don't mess with a reckless driver operating a two-tons vehicle. Barkely rolled his eyes, shooked his head, uttered what seemed like an expletive and sped off.
