I ran into a few folks over the years, especially when I worked retail..lived in Oakland in the early 90s and worked at a store where I saw
Tupac come thru...met
Money D from Digital Underground at the same store. Unknowingly waited on
Ebony Ayes here in the A at another store...she was with her man and a kid..she's REALLY short and had a jacket on, but I could tell there were huge tits under it...I KNEW I'd seen her somewhere, but couldn't place it. My boy told me who she was a few days later. Sold one of those chicks from X-scape a TV...I didn't know who she was and some dude with her was tryna act like she was so famous she didn't need to have ID. Sold Keshia Knight Pulliam a TV...man she was super short, but fine as hell! Fucked a chick at a strip club I saw on Bangbros. She wasn't famous, but the pussy was whoa! Waited on
Julian Lennon the morning after I'd seen him on TV the night before. Waited on
Pink Floyd's keyboardist, the late
Rick Wright...HELLA cool older dude. I met his wife previously at the store and she brought him in to buy a grip of shit. When I found out who he was, we talked music for awhile.
Met
Hulk Hogan at a wrestling match. The TV station my ex worked at was considering picking up the WWF on its station, so they had a meet and greet before a match. Afterwards, the station GM asked everyone one if it was a good idea to bring wrestling on...the problem was NOBODY watched it but me..of course I said, "hell yeah! Ya gotta start showing it!" They picked it up and the rest is history...lol
One of my ex-wife's friends, who I knew, is one of the 50 or so Cosby accusers. She was BAD AS HELL in the day! You can't convince me he needed any pills to fuck her..she'd have slipped herself the pills.
10 years ago, I got the ultimate sports hookup. I got to go to Jordan's senior bball camp for free! Without a doubt, the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on. Met and chopped it up with EVERYBODY! I played for
Roy Wiliams and
Bill Guthridge's team (NC coach after Dean Smith). Roy was too cool..just a great guy and coach..although he did yell at me a bunch (cuz I didn't fight over the top of a pick and roll vs going under it) ....met
Dean Smith and wish I talked with him more...he hung out at our practices a bunch. Met
Bill Walton and hung out with him quite a bit..he made you instantly feel like an old friend..he told the best stories.
Hubie Brown yelled at me for messing up one of his drills, but later I was on an elevator with him and
Billy Packer and he told me he only yells at people with talent...he didn't have to say that..intense but nice guy. One day after a game,
PJ Carlesimo came by and dapped me up..
Chuck Daly was like an old pimp hanging out at the pool, before camp...had a bunch of hos around.
Bob Huggins was just a big quiet guy for a coach ya see yelling on the sidelines. Watching
Jim Larranaga walk was one of the most painful things ever...looked like he could barely get around.
Flip Saunders was doing magic tricks..said he learned em to do at the home of recruits.. I had NO IDEA who
Jay Wright was..thought he was a camper at first...smooth guy.
Rick Pitino was my guy! Hung out in a bar with him and one of his buddies..dude was springing for drinks and kickin it with us. Met
Doc Rivers, good dude..I think Austin was there with him...met and chatted with both
John Thompsons...really enjoyed that..Thompson Sr was like talking with ya grandad. The absolute coolest guy was
Lennie Wilkens! We hung out a few times and he was just good people. We kept running into him and I was joking that we weren't stalking him. The funniest thing was when
Doug Moe was talking about
Pat Riley, who made a speech there. You assume everybody's all love, but Doug kept it 100. He was like, Fuck Pat Riley..
Got to meet
Jordan...took a pic and all the teams had a a private chat session with him...VERY CANDID discussion about players, the league, etc.. Watched him gamble one night..that ninja had OVER $1mill on the black jack tables like it was $100 and was talkin MAD SHIT to the dealers..
That's just some of the folks I recall off the top...
