I think he is taking the "knowing" part too seriously. The point of this thread is really about who you've interacted with, at any level, that is currently in the NBA.

Went to HS with Ty Lawson before he transferred to Oak Hill. Son knew he was going to the league in like 10th grade. Good to see him playing well for the Nuggets.

Ran drills and scrimmages with Rob Sacre (Lakers draft pick last night) for U-16 BC Provincial basketball tryouts.
He made the team. I didn't.

Closest to "knowing" an NBA player for me is the times I'd seen James Harden hooping it up at the SRC at ASU

Sounds like a cool job, is NBATV associated with NBA on TNT?

Next time you see Dennis Scott, don't ask him for his autograph, rather ask him about the rage inside of him...

Went to a couple basketball camps with Joe Alexander. Sat had the same lunch table at a couple of them. Really cool guy. Maybe he'll be back next year
Meet Rudy Gay like over 8 times, had a couple conversation with him. Really cool dude
Chopped in with Grevis Vasquez at UMD a couple times and hoop with him a once at the Rec Center. Seriously one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Was breaking ankles all over the place, so glad he was on my team
