I saw Daniel Santiago in a walmart with a cart full. Knew this dude played bball b/c he was 7ft and wearing those long sleeve grey practice shirt with thebucks logo. Dude walked by, stared at me for a couple seconds thinking I was gonna ask for his auto. He was lucky I even recognized him.

Another was Bo Outlaw in a nike outlet. At first I thought it wasn't him, but then he spoke and that confirmed it. He was looking at some shoes off thehash wall with some buddies.

Last one was George Muresan in a Bestbuy looking at some cds with everyone just staring at this tall $@#!. Seriously everyone I guess knew he played somesport, but just not who he was. The only person near him was a BB employee looking up the whole time.

When i was in elementary, i went trick or treating, i knocked on someone's house in Alameda, and it was Tony Delk. He didn't have any candy, so he gaveus autographs.
 
Talked to John Franco when working out at the gym. When I was like 8 I met him once with Rey Ordonez, Rick Reed and Dennis Cook when I was in Miami.

Walked buy Ron Darling and his son once.

Saw Marcus Williams at Citi Crab when he was still with the Nets.

Saw Jonathan Wade (CB for the St. Louis Rams) at my Bank of America the other day. I didn't even know who he was, but just put two and two together basedon the Benz parked outside and his athletic frame/gear he was rocking. Heard the banker say "Jonathan" as he called him and his wife into an office,so I looked up the Rams roster on my phone and there he was.

When I was goin' to school in Chicago, me and my boy walked right past Roy Jones Jr. on Michigan Ave...

I didn't even take much notice of him, butmy friend was like "Damn, that dude looked like Roy Jones..." Then we both realized he was decked out in Jordan Brand gear, so we turned around, andsure enough, it was him.

A year or so ago, I was gettin' my car washed at the local spot, and I was standing in the waiting room, and there was this big *#% dude standin' infront of me with his fitted all low, trying to be low-key, staring at his cell phone the whole time. Then I saw this dope, brand new Benz goin' through thewash before my car. And it hit me that Ryan Howard was standing in front of me. Dude went to my high school still comes back home during the offseason.He's got some serious Chicken Leg Syndrome...

I've had quite a few other run-ins in my day, but my mind is just drawing blanks right now.
 
JUST recently... me and my boy went to the Bike (Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens, CA) a few weeks back. We sat @ separate $100-300 tables then he BBM's me,"YO, is that Jose Canseco behind you?"

I'm like, wth is this dude talkin about?

I turn around and he proceeds to sit at another $100-300 table.

I get the confirmation from pit bosses and dealers that he frequents the Bike playing just about anything from a $40 buy-in to the $500.
