    And he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He was on a date, and when his date got up to use the restroom I went and talked to him for a little while. I asked him if he and Stevie had spoken to Webber yet and he just started laughing. He happily signed me a couple autographs and we were all on our way.

    What a great guy.

    What about his girl in Philly? Doesn't he have a kid by a girl up there?

    I met his girlfriend once at an autograph signing thing last year. If I'm correct, she had moved down here with Cuttino, Jr. to be closer to him during the season.

    Then let's hope it was her, or that the Philly girlfriend doesn't read this BBS. [​IMG]

    When i was talking to him, they had just gotten their drinks(Sodas).

    But I think he got some kind of cheesecake to go.

    I must sound like a stalker. [​IMG]

    I'm really just very excited. Just got the autograph framed.

    Cheesecake Factory is a hangout for all the NBA players. I've seen Francis and Tony Massenburg there. The waiter had told me that Vince Carter and lots of other players come to eat at Cheesecakes all throughout the year.

    vj23k,

    Great story! Nice of you not to interupt their date...but what would you have done if his date didnt get up to go to the bathroom?

    The Cheesecake Factory is awesome - the menu is just overwhelming - takes abut 15 minute just to read it. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Houston.

    Sorry, no game actiom or roster moves here.

    When I was Little I call in a local sports show and told them the Rockets should Trade Otis Thorpe for a Lottery Pick. They found me to be stupid.

    I love that place. When I took my fiancee to Houston (we'll be living there soon: anyone know of any available technical writing jobs?) we went there after she went into shopping heaven at the Galleria.

    Er, GO ROCKETS! Sign Webber! Woo hoo!!

    Yeah, It is. Thus far I have met Cuttino, Pip, and Tony Mcdyess. I have seen Stevie, Cato, and Wiz.

    I'm not really sure. I don't think I would have because I like him too much to do so.

    River, she was pretty. Almost as pretty as Steve's girl from Destiny's Child. [​IMG]
