I just caught up with this post and wanted to put my 2 cents in. I have met very few "celebrities." Coming from small town Iowa, that's not usually a place they hang out. I did see a post about Nick Collison from Kansas however. Nick went to high school about 15 minutes from me and we played each other in conference all the time. I must say that I also saw probably one of his most embarrassing moments! He is a very cool guy though and definitely a true gentleman.
I must live in the hotbed of basketball b/c I have also met Dean Oliver, Raef LaFrentz(?), and many of the basketball players from Iowa Hawkeye teams of the past. I have also met Bobby Knight (way before the Neil Reed thing), and Bill Bradley (former New York Knick and politician).
