Yep I met Royce and most of those other names through my work with Rivals... I like Royce, I met him at his Mr. Basketball award ceremony/reception. He seemed really well-mannered and nice.
I wish him all the best of luck at ISU! He needed a change in scenery. Who knows, he might go pro after a year... kid is talented. How do you know him?

ok i'm from the UK so you'll probably never have heard of half of these people but........

met and/or worked with

Sir Steve Redgrave
Sir Chris Hoy
Andy Murray
Gavin and Scott Hastings
Barcelona FC - Pep Guardiola, Thierry Henry, Lionel Messi were all really cool - was not long after Henry became the face of Reebok and he had on some shocking navy, burgandy and gold boots which failed to come close to matching their strips and i said to him that he must miss his Nike days and he laughed and agreed with me but said he did prefer Reebok's cheques. He also said he used to be a big AF1 fan. Messi was wearing some Shox Rivals and i was giving him stick for having the whole Nike catalog to choose from and he picked those! They were all real nice and real laid back and stayed for nearly 2 hours after the game signing autographs and meeting the fans and stuff was cool
Scotland Rugby
Engalnd Rugby - Johnny Wilkinson is a real nice lad
Ireland Rugby - Brian O'Driscoll is not
France Rugby
Wales Rugby
Italy Rugby
Argentina Rugby - the least punctual sports team on the planet with Ireland being a very close second
New Zealand Rugby - one of the most focused sports teams on the planet
South Africa Rugby - they used a lot of motivational quotes from MJ and Vince Lombardi to hang up on their changing room wall which i found interesting, when i spoke to their manager about it he was knowledgable about MJ  - "Well, he was a winner wasnt he?"
Australia Rugby
DaMarcus Beasley - he was cool but you could tell he loved himself very very deeply!
a bunch of Rangers, Celtic, Hibs and Hearts players

Off topic (but famous) - the Queen and Prince Phillip, Tom Hanks, Ron Howard, Drew Barrymore who was just adorable
