I got to meet the whole team. and a few others as well.
The first day, i just ran into the coaching staff.. it wasnt until the next morning that i got to see players. It was really fun. ALL the guys were incredible nice.. its amazing HOW different the guys are when no one's around.. which was almost everytime i met them. theyre ALL totally down to earth. maybe except Bron.
I watched them film a little of Road to Redeption. My favorite encounter was with Dwight Howard and Michael Redd. SUUUUUPER nice guys & hilarious. We gave Dwight gatorade before his work out and he totally appreciated it. you can see the gatorade bottle behind me in the picture.
uhm... TAYSHAUN PRINCE is HILARIOUS! haha. i was in the hotel casino and here comes Tayshaun. a family of 3 approaches him and goes, 'Tayshaun, can my son please have a picture with you. hes a huge fan' & Tayshaun refuses. The dad BEGS Tayshaun. Durant was there too.. so Tayshaun pushes the family next to Durant.. grabs the camera from the mom and goes, 'here, ill take the picture' :lol:
the next night, i spotted JKidd playing BalckJack at one of the tables. I wanted to talk to him so badly but im only 18. still underaged. argh. so i wrote him a note and gave it to my mom. she went up to him and gave it. haha. he was really appreciative and my mom said that everytime she saw him, he'd pull out the little note.
anyway. i ran into CP3, Dwade, Kobe and LeBron too many times that i was hiding from them. argh. i didnt want them to think i was stalking.. coz i wasnt.
