My Sister Saw Bobby Jackson At The Palms Casino...

My sister went to Las Vegas this past Memorial Day weekend with her friends and I just saw her for the first time since she got back and she told me she spoke with Bobby Jackson. She said she he was a really nice guy, and she told him how big of a Kings fan her brother is. However, she didn't get a picture nor an autograph just because no one else was. This was the same excuse she used when she saw Arnold Schwarzenegger at a haircut place.http://www.schwarzenegger.com/
 
My friends have seen Bobby Jackson around Sacto, but they say he was mean.

My friends little brother accused him of calling him fat, and he apparently called my best friend a racist.

Hmmm...I'd like to belive he's a cool, nice guy.
 
So why exactly would your friend's little brother call him fat? Sounds like the whole encounter might have been a little suspect to begin with...

:rolleyes:

When i went to the Charitabowl, all the players were in a pretty nice, bobby jackson was very unfriendly unless u paid the big bucks, but maybe he was having a big day, my friend doesnt like bobby jackson anymore, i still think he is a good player, i wouldnt call him mean but he certianly isnt friendly
 
My classmate back in high school got off the same plane as Bobby, he was even willing to pose for a picture with her gymnastic team.

She said she thought he'd be taller...
 
I saw Mike Bibby today!

As we were leaving Sunsplash today he w/a couple of people in his car were pulling in along with a black Escalade behind him with out of state plates.

Unfortunately, I wasn't driving so we didn't turn around....
 
Thats really cool Prophetess. The only pro players I've seen in Kona is David Robinson (he has a house in the same neighborhood as mine and this is his summer house), Michael Jordan at the 4 seasons and he was with his teammates Steve Kerr, Scottie, and Luc Longley. It was cool cause I was actually talking to Steve Kerr for like 15 minutes in their hot tub lol.

that's cool! :D

i have a few questions, if you don't mind: what is "Sunsplash" ? and is this in Sacramento? oh and what is mike's car, anyway?

thanks. it's a really slow and boring day.

I can help out with that. Sunsplash is a water park with water rides, pretend waves with real salt, a pretend river that really, is a river, just overall a water park.

Yes it is in Roseville, Sacramento.

My friend's bro didn't call him fat, he apparently called my friend's bro fat.

I still don't know if I buy it, though.
 
During 2002/2003 season before Kings built their practice facility, the used to pratice at a new high school on San Juan near Northgate Blvd. (can't remember the name of the school). Anyway, on game days Scot Pollard, Jon Barry and Vlade would all eat lunch together at the nearby Taco Bell after practice (between 11:30 and noon). A few of us from work were, ahem, lucky enough to be eating lunch there AT THE SAME time! Twice. :p

The co-worker who turned us on to this event made it clear we were not to ask for autographs or speak to them...but I couldn't resist when they all sat down at the table right next to ours, I just HAD to say hello to Vlade. I know, I should be ashamed! It was fun. I poured my soda standing right next to Scot Pollard.
I remember thinking "Why do they put TACO BELL in their bodies before a game"?
 
I saw Harrold Presley today @ Sam's Club w/ the Wife and kids. He was pushing his daughter really fast around the store and they were running in the TV aisle. Almost hit me :( lol Is his wife Mexican or Puerto Rican? The kids really look the like mom.

A co-worker of mine (Kings fan) saw Bibby and Bobby Jackson in Las Vegas and said that neither of them were very nice. (or may be my co-worker was too drunk) ;)

Did you get an autograph (even though your co-worker said not to ask)?
That must have been awsome seeing them all there... and then seeing them again. :) Lucky!

I can answer that one... he has a white dodge magnum with sunroof and tinted windows. I went to his appearance with my kids at Good Guys in Sacramento. We were'nt able to get his autograph because of mobs of people that cut in line. We stayed in line anyway because there was an off chance that he would sign past the number of people that were originally alotted. Just our luck, no dice. We saw him at the table just as we got in the door. He got up to leave so the kids and I ran out the front and around the back just in case. I'm glad we did because the kids got to see him leave. We didn't see any fancy cars as we were walking towards the back of the store. Right when we were coming up on a side garage door, it opened. A man told us to stand clear of the driveway, which we did. He came walking out with a few friends. My kids yelled for him and he was nice enough to wave. I took a few pics of him through the windshield, but it's kinda dark. Some guy next to us had the stupidity to bang the hood of his brand new car a couple of times to get his attention for a pic. The look Mike gave him should've had him running for the hills. Can't blame Mike. IMHO he showed a lot of restraint by not getting out of his car.

Sorry for getting off track!!:o
 
Ya i was also at that good guys apperance i got there at like 3 and was like 170 in line but i still get the autograph cuz of the stupid people who cut which is really depressing. I was like right at the door when they decided he wasnt going to sign anymore. I also went around back though. So is the car they were in really bibbys or was it danes, i was curious since dane was the one driving?
