    Sorry I'm posting this a little late but cool story. Ran into Courtney Lee, Chuck Hayes and Calvin Murphy at the NCAA 3 point and dunk contest. Courtney Lee was awesome, he was very nice and respectful. I told him that I'm a die hard fan who hasnt missed a game in 14 years and that there are fans like me who still believe in the team and the players and to keep working hard. In response, Lee was very respectful, replying, "thank you very much sir, I really appreciate it" and shook my hand. I really felt like he sincerely meant that. I gained a whole new level of respect for him after I met him. I was impressed with his modesty, especially coming from a professional athlete.

    Also ran into Chuck and was able to snap a pic. He seemed to be in a little of a rush and seemed like he didn't want to be bothered too much so I didn't ask questions. But he was nice enough to take a pic with my friend and I.

    After the contest, got the opportunity to meet Calvin Murphy. He was very nice, asked him to come back to Rockets commentating and just replied saying "appreciate it". Real nice though. He even stepped inside of the stands to snap a pic.

    I met Santa Claus and I thought he was a very nice man. A bit senile, but nice and respectful.

    To the OP, You know what posters want, PICS. Where are the PICS?

    Rocketman03, the problem is that you are linking to your facebook profile, which is not publicly accessible. Right-click the photos, save them and then upload them to http://www.imgur.com from your computer. Just copy and paste the "for message boards" links from there into a post here.

    Nevermind, I just saw that I can see your facebook profile. Let me do it for you.

    Nice pics, OP.

    Sometimes appearances are deceiving, but Lee really seems like a humble, nice man.
