Kings sightings/encounters (merged)

Darius evidently is heading East. His Hummer is being shipped out. I believe it left last night. Off to Durham im guessing.

More Kings headed to their off season homes.
 
One of the perks of working at the airport I guess....celebrity sightings!
What the heck was Matt Barnes doing there though? Maybe coming home to visit family for the summer?

Alot of people know that I work at the airport. After getting coffee, I was going down the escalutor and this guy in front of me was pretty tall. I thought "man, he could be a basketball player" and then realized it was Matt Barnes. In front of him was Mike Bibby and Eddie House. They were with a group of guys arriving from Burbank.

Just thought I would share!

Well, I know Bibby had a birthday party at the Palms over the weekend so maybe they were getting together??

Or, if it was a flight from Burbank maybe they were meeting with Phil Jackson ;)
 
Matt, Mike and Eddie - I like hearing that. Talk about three guys who love the game we love to watch.

if he was with eddie, maybe they celebrated their bdays at the same time since it was only a day apart.
 
First-HATE SUSHI-Raw fish?!!!! Come on!!

2nd-Great pic. of Mike. He looks GOOD.

3rd-I am officially inviting the entire Sac. Kings team over to my house for a good old fashioned Italian dinner. Please RSVP, ASAP. ;)







Do you think it will work?
 
During the season, you go to any "prominent" downtown restaurant on a Friday or Saturday night and you are likely to see a Kings player.
 
^^ how cool. oh man, if only i lived in sac.

i want to know how it feels to see a kings player outside an arena. must be great!

Something to remember if I'm ever lucky enough to get out to Sac.

Not exactly last night, but this was Mike Bibby June 2003 at Bonehead Tattoo, my buddy Mike is on the far left.

This could explain the reason why Darius was at the airport today.

Yeah...what happened? I am a "Bibby-Stalker" and I'm not afraid to admit it..;) Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery!...:p
 
FYI - The picture gotpitbull posted of Mike Bibby and three other gentlemen was actually an image link to another site. That site, it appears, is at least temporarily not online...that's why the picture no longer shows up.
 
I shared this story a few years ago but will share it again. At Vlade and Peja's bball camp I got a picture with Vlade,,,he had his arm around me...I looked like I was a deer caught in headlights.
 
Kings Encounters

(I'm not sure whether to post this here or in the general sports talk...I guess this is a little trivial to have here, but since there isn't all that much going on because it is the beginning of the offseason, i thought i may as well put it here... i wont be 100% suprised if someone moves it somewhere else.)

What I meant by "Kings Encounters" is whether anyone has met any of the Kings and if they said any cool things. It's more of a personal thread instead of about the organization itself.

I'm asking primarily because

I JUST MET BOBBY JACKSON!!!!

I was so freakin' excited.....(he was deffinetly taller in person). It was at the Roseville Best Buy across from The Galeria, and evidentally he's there alot, cause the manager said he's their biggest DVD buyer. I shook his hand and just wished him luck this next season, and that he was my favorite player....ya

Any cool experiences from anyone else?
 
I think we already have a thread about this in the lounge but thats pretty cool. i actually have a picture with Bobby Jackson with him myself! I was at an autograph session and I got a pic with him. i also got a autograph of Cuttino Mobley and i also got a picture of him with me as well.
 
Congrats, BobbyJfor3! We do have an ongoing thread about this in the Lounge, so I'm going to merge your comments to that thread.

:D

I love it...Glad to know I'm not alone!!:) But seriously, did anyone who's seen the picture actually save it so we can see it?:rolleyes:
 
A few years ago, I think in the summer of 02 my friends and I were at Cabos restaurant in Granite Bay, and we looked over and saw a very tall man walking towards us. To our delight it was C-Webb!!! I didn't know what to do and neither did my friends, we just kept looking at him and he gave us his smile and flashed us a peace sign as he walked by us. It was definately the best sighting I have had, better than Jerry Rice, better than Pete Sampras, heck even better than Jordan.

I have met both Mike Bibby and Chris Webber. Mike I met at the Gamestop in Arden Fair Mall...he was super super sweet and even signed the sweater I was wearing at the time...And C-Webb I met when I was getting gas at the Arco station near Arco Arena...he was also incredibly nice..of course..and he signed an old program from a Kings game I had gone to months before which I gave to my brother (huge CWebb fan!) who was ecstatic to say the least...Anyway...these chance meetings have only strengthened my love for my Sacramento Kings..they are simply a talented, great group of athletes who I have a tremendous amount of admiration and respect for. I wish every Kings fan could have the chance to meet them too..
 
^^ cool encounters!!

i saved the mike bibby pic.

i'll post it later when i get back from school for those who want it.
 
it sounds like you can be anywhere in Sac and meet a King, is it that small there? A lot of celebs live in Atlanta but I've never met any of them. I could do some serious stalking if I was in Sac.
 
I have to say that is probably the BEST pic. I have seen of Mike. Sure I like it when he smiles, but he looks beautiful in that picture. Thanks for posting again.
