I have met Patrick Ewing, Ron Harper and Manute Bol. Meeting Manute Bol standing up was surreal. He was inconceivably tall. Oh and I almost forgot, Dana Barros and Tom Heinson.

Shaq when I worked for Disney. Extremely nice guy and funny as hell.

I've met a ton from IU. A lot of the older guys at meet and greets. I met Eric Gordon,DJ White, and Jordan Crawford while I went to school there. Eric Gordon seemed like a good guy. DJ White very quiet and reserved. Jordan Crawford was a stupid thug.

I've met a few pacers and colts players through my company.

I am currently about a 10 minute walk to Donyell's office. I am sitting near the campus where he coaches.

Nice.....good guy. I will be up for a game or 2 this year. It's funny....when we first played against him...he was just tall and thin, we called him Manute Bol.....he wasn't even a good player at that point....but he soon became very good....obviously.

How does a civilian attempt to play ball w/ Shaq? I mean were you just shooting the ball around or actually trying to guard him?

My Son met Kemba briefly at a game once, said he was cool to him for the 2 minutes they talked.
