After running across Chuck Hayes the other day, I realized that I have met quite a few celebrities/pro athletes. About last year hen I use to work at Whataburger the music producer Bryan Micheal Cox came through the drive thru and gave me his autograph along with a picture I got with him. Then like 3 months ago I met Slim Thug at the CVS store by my house, I think he seemed pissed because not that many people noticed him and rushed up to him when I was there. Then also a few years ago when the all star game was in houston, me and my bro went to the celebrity game and we had REALLY GOOD SEATS! I mean front row right next to where the athletes and famous people would come out of. The people I met there, shook hands with and photo include: Shaq Rip Hamiltion Amad Rashad(NBA Inside guy) Sheryl Swoopes Elton Brand Keith Jones Hot Sauce lol Dwayne Wade and there is a few more I can't remember their names but that is about it so far
Here is my list: T-Mac (got hat and 2 jersey signed by him; got a chance to talk to him) Yao Ming (said hi to him from within a couple of feet; but was getting his game face on so didnt ask him to sign anything) Sam Cassell (signed hat, talked to) Steve Novak (signed hat, talked to) Shane Battier (signed hat, talked to) Chuck Hayes (signed hat, talked to) Rafer Alston (signed hat, talk to) Luther Head (signed hat, talk to) John Lucas III (signed hat, talk to) Kirk Synder (signed hat, talk to) Ice Cube (shops at the same Ralphs, lives close to me) WC (works out at the same Ballys) E-40 Mike Dunleavy Jr. (he was a jackass who cut in line at a Borat premiere! got cussed out at by everyone) Marlon Waynes (talked to him for a good amount of time) Tye Diggs (meet him with Marlon Waynes) Jonah Hill (meet him at a special screening of Pineapple Express) Michael Clarke Duncan (meet him in the VIP room at Rox v. Clips game, cool dude) Darryl Morey (signed hat, cool dude) Jeff Van Gundy (he looked pissed off at the Rox play, but he was cool to talk to) Rick Aldeman (cool dude) Jordan Farmer (I don't consider him famous since I have known him for a while and balled with him) Nick Young --Plays for wizards (same as above) Hmmm.... I think thats about all of them....
Kobe Bryant, met him working out at gym, talked a little and took a pic with him, very polite, down to earth type of guy
Hayesfan faints. Black? or not a blonde in Colorado? would have worked, too. The most memorable one for me was Johnny Cash, and I didn't even know him at the time.
I've run into Robert Horry back when Touch nightclub was still around. Also hung out with Slim Thug a few times at Bond and Venue.
My dad recently told me I met and talked to karl Malone when he was at Louisiana Tech and he played up here against Arkansas State. That's the new low point in my life.

Vince Young, Chuck Hayes, Shawn Kemp (hahaha actually talked to him for a good 2 minutes at the Tmac charity softball game a few years back), Roger Clemens (after the roids scandal), Paul Wall
I met Tony Hawk in S.A. while having breakfast outside of my hotel in July. He looked old. He took a picture with my husband and kid. My little brother is cousins with that olympic skater that's from Houston, Chad.
Out of everyone, I envy you the most. Mila Kunis is gorgeous. My older brother worked for the Rockets back in the championship days, and I used to be able to go out on the floor whenever all the players were warming up, so I've met and gotten autographs from every big star from that time on each team's media guide, not to mention a basketball that's been signed by every member of the 93-94 Championship team. Pretty awesome collection that I'm incredibly proud of. The only person missing (for obvious reasons) is Michael Jordan.
