Kevin Martin Sighting

That's unreal, did you get a picture or autograph? Or just say hi? I wouldn't be able to let an opportunity like that go by without talking to my favourite player and gettin' a quick pic on my phone!
 
It was the Jack's in Natomas. I work near there, so I frequent Jack's, because Jack's does rock. I saw Shareef there not to long ago, and a couple of the Monarch's Players. Being near the Arena it's common to see them there.

I choose to treat them like any other person and let them have their privacy. He's just there grabbing a salad and running out, so I didn't bother him.
 
Ya, the Kings players go to Jack's often after practice. I've seen Brad there a couple times over the summer with the strength and conditioning coach. I've also seen Ron over there numerous times.
 
wow you guys are so lucky...

...I'm stuck with noticing Slava Medvedenko at the local Hollywood mall...
and Gary Payton as well
ugh
 
Here in LA i've done pretty well for a big city. Bynum lives down the street from my university with his mom, roommate got his autograph. I just gave him a dirty look with my Kings hat on. Ronnie Turiaf (sp?) was at a Chipotle obviously not working on a diet. Tim Thomas stopped in front of my apartment building today to say hi to some of his friends. And I saw Garnett shooting around in Santa Monica where I play pick up games (that guy's a beast).

i always see Kenny Thomas at the chipotle in Natomas. :D
 
I saw a whole slew of 49ers walk into an Outback Steakhouse in Stockton when a friend and I were grabbing some dinner. This was a few years ago when they used to hold camp at UOP, I think. Now those were some BIG dudes.

It is always fun to see these guys in person because it gives you a totally different perspective of what freaks of nature they are.

So not to derail this thread to much but:

Years ago I was working out at a gym. I had just got done with a set of weights and turned around to see this tall African-American dude with his back to me. He had very blond hair a lot of ink. I thought to myself "ah man, somebody is trying to be just like Dennis Rodman." I had no more than completed this thought when the guy turned around - it, of course, was Dennis Rodman.

He worked-out there for about an hour and not a single person bothered him.
 
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.
 
I saw Jerome James back when he had his surgery. He was w/ two hot ladies, one on each side, and he was there to see Blair Witch Project. He sat right in front of me so I had to move. Dude is pretty big :)

And then the other guy was Corey Feldman lol.. He is best friends with a good friend/former roomate of mine who lives in Lakeside. Corey is a drunk now.. At least he doesn't use illegal drugs anymore eh? :)
