Pirate Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I was at the mall tonight and bumped into Leandro Barbosa. It was kind of cool. He was buying some adidas at the Finish Line at the Scottsdale Fashion Park. I was looking at some sun glasses with my wife and I pointed him out. She didn't know who he was.

Don Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 pretty cool. I never ever met anybody famous(besides Jose Lima, but that was before a game at the Rogers Center). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 I have met players at games, but this was the first time out in public. I guess this mall is also Brittany Spears-Federline's Favorite Mall. I wouldn't mind bumping into her or Jessica Simpson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I did bump into Marcus Vick once at the local mall. This was 2 years ago before he was a superstar...me and a bunch of people were looking for a wifflebat and wiffleball...as I left the mall I saw him pass by. At first i didn't recognize him and asked my friend if that was Marcus Vick , and he went "Du'h" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snash13 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 No he will probably be playing starting SG this yearNo, that will probably fall to Raja Bell, Leandro is basically going to be our 3rd guard, Playing either the point or the swing position. Regardless he will get more minutes then last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archrival Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 My fiancee bumped into (literally) Royce Clayton at Starbucks at Kierland Commons. He was standing right in front of the cream and she kind of just shoved him out the way. She didn't know who he was, it was after he signed with the D-backs. I tried to refresh her memory, we went to a Sox game right as he began to come out of his slump in July of 2001. I told her not to boo him, a lot of people were. He was hitting like .150 or something at the time. She was like, oh yeah, he's really small. She couldn't have cared less about it. I thought it was cool, especially his Predator dreads. I also volunteer for the Phoenix Suns charities, so I get to hang out with the players then! I'll be at the Fox Sports Grill in N. Scottsdale a week from today selling basketballs at the front counter if you want to stop on by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 UPDATE: At the grocery store on Friday I bumped into Raja Bell. He parked his BMW in front of mine. I was loading groceries and thought "that is a nice Beamer." Guy hops out and it's Raja Bell. Wierd... just waiting on Steve Nash and Amare. Stoudemire lives just down the road, maybe the meeting is inevitable. BigBully - You are a lucky man, very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoudemire lives just down the road, maybe the meeting is inevitable. BigBully - You are a lucky man, very lucky. Would that be Amare's new 4.5 mil house or his older 2 mil house? The Biltmore area is extremely nice, and an easy way to see famous people. I live in Paradise Valley, I've been on the lookout for Kerry Wood, Jermaine Dye, etc. Haven't seen them yet. Thursday's charity event was awesome. Steve Nash actually showed up, the first time I've seen him. I think the easiest person on the Suns to see is Shawn Marion, he's everywhere. I've seen him at least 3 or 4 times at different places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 It's his new $4.5 million place at the Biltmore, I live at the base of Piestawa/Squaw Peak off of Northern Ave. I just like seeing how much taller I am than all of these ballers. I had Leandro by 3 inches easy, but Raja was too far away to judge, he looked bigger than Barbosa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Leandro by 3 inches easy, but Raja was too far away to judge, he looked bigger than Barbosa. Yeah, I noticed the same thing. I must be 6-7 if Barbosa is the 6-3 he's listed at (I'm barely 6-2). Same with Steve Nash, he's also listed at 6-3... Yeah, right. Bell is listed at 6-5, I guess he's that tall, didn't seem any bigger than me, though. If I played ball, I'd probably be listed at 6-5 240, when in reality I'm 6-2 210. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 Yeah I would be 6-9 210 instead of 6-7 180. Bell was pretty big. Where was the tourney at? I was gone all weekend in the North Country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 On my way back to Canada from England, I bumped into Micheal Landsberg at the Airport. I Shaked his hand and we talked a bit about the Toronto Maple Leafs. I was to shy to ask him if he WAS Micheal Landsberg at first, but my mate asked him for me, and thats when we started talking.
