    I was getting some food at my nearby Walmart just a few min ago and I saw David Wesley signing autographs. It was in conjuction with 97.9's NBA Elevation tour. I think he'll probably be there till 5; it looks like he was just starting to sign when I got there. No I don't have any pics, but for proof you can go to 97.9's home page; granted it doesn't say specifically he's there, but then if he isnt, then a lot of people are getting autographs from a complete nobody. :p

    So if anybody is interested, just go to the Walmart at W. Airport and 59

    Hopefully he autographed some paperwork for his new line of work and now knows how to say "Welcome to Wal-Mart". Maybe he can get JaHo a discount on some sunglasses and an application for him!!!

    You sure he wasn't at the door saying, "Hi welcome to Walmart. How are you today?" :)

    hehe, maybe someone could "slide" in a vet minimum contract for the Rockets and have Wesley sign the dotted line!

    You can do it! For us!

    I don't get it. :confused:

    Why would he work at Wal-Mart when he is playing basketball games? Wouldn't it interfere with practice?

    After that, I need David to go to lost and found for his Jump Shot. It has been sitting there for years. :D

    No, he was in the toy section. They pinned a tail on him and the kids were getting pictures taken with Mickey Mouse.

    If he was in the toy section, they should have painted him green and called him Shrek.

    They have the sweetest "Shaq" brand basketball shoes at Wal Mart. They aren't ghetto at all and not only poor people wear them.

    I think that's great. Hakeem used to do that too. Had his signature on shoes at Payless so all the kids could afford them and not kill each other to steal their shoes. It would be nice if more players did stuff like that.

    I had an embarassing Moochie encounter the other day.

    I was playing ball in Lifetime Fitness, went to watch the end of the Mavs-Suns game in the locker room, and one of those NBA promo/montage ads came on. I heard somebody said it would be funny if Moochie was shown as one of the players in action, and I chimed in with a- "Yea, that would be hilarious."

    Turns out the comment I'd heard wasn't random. Lo and behold, the man himself passed by me literally two seconds after that. I think I kept my voice low enough to keep him from hearing it, so I was able to avoid an akward, insincere "Just kidding, you're the man Mooch" moment.
