I feel like I've seen too many to name over the years. Back when Matt Barnes played for the Kings he used to throw regular house parties at his place which was a few blocks down from me. They normally consisted of all his homies from high school, some of which had younger siblings who I knew, so they would let us come over and get $+$!@+ up and stuff on occasion. They were always super hospitable to the little homies.

I guess the biggest one would be Michael Jordan himself on a golf course in Santa Barbara. I was out golfing at a club that my cousin used to work at and he gave me the heads up Jordan was out there. I was grabbing a drink at a water fountain and dude zipped by me in a golf cart. He was like 2 feet from me, I tried to flag him down but he just nodded and kept rolling. Still was a cool moment for me.

Then I sat in the same row, a few seats away from Moses Malone at a Lebrons NBA debut here in Sac. Got to meet him and stuff, but I'm sure he was looking at me like "this kid has no idea who I am." My Dad's office had floor seats right behind the visitors bench and I was lucky enough to get a ticket to that game.

And I got some signed kicks from Gerald Wallace himself after a game back when he played for the Kings and rocked Reeboks.

Met the 49ers D-line and some of the rookies (Iupati, Anthony Dixon) at a lounge in San Jose. Jerry Porter was there too hollering at super grenades. My dumb friend the audacity to go up to him and tell him hes third string and eff the raiders 

. Had to wait in the inside a little bit after closing while the manager squared away everything because him and his entourage was waiting for us
