Went to school (LSU) with Shaq, when he was a svelte 290 pounds. He is exactly as you see him at events, commercials, etc., larger than life.
I had a class with him at LSU...that was one freakin funny dude. He was pretty quiet in class...but when he did say or do something it was pure gold.

I was taking summer classes at LSU in '03.
Had an ex-FB player in class with me and we went and met chad lavalais up at mr. Gattys and had lunch. Chad was a very cool dude.

I've seen most of the top tier tennis guys except Rafa at the smaller Masters Series events. Federer seemed a lot bulkier than I expected. In his trunk and legs, he's kind of a tank.

Ozzie Smith (tiny)
Steve McNair (sat next to him at a Saints game while he was still in college).

Terry Bradshaw - big dude
Lou Holtz - much taller than I expected
Watched Josey Wales with E.J. Junior at Ricky Tucker's (SS for Bama in 1979) house when I was 7. He was the biggest individual I had ever seen at the time.
Stewart Cink was a very good friend of mine growing up.
Fuzzy Zoeller
Davis Love III
Bob Tway
Payne Stewart (gave me the golf ball he was playing with)
Marc Savard - he was caddying for Stewart Cink at the John Deere Classic and Stewart's wife introduced me to him.
Bunch of other golfers

Muhammad Ali at the Rock & Roll HOF years ago.
Shaq in a few places, but he once acknowledged my existence and said "what's up man?" at the PMAC.
Shook Desmond Howard's hand at the George's on Perkins the night before the '07 Florida game.
I used to check Bradie James into the Foreign Language Lab so he could do his Swahili homework.
For the soccer guys, I met Claude Makelele and Ludovic Giuly. Also passed Paulo Maldini and Gennaro Gattuso in the tunnel at Soldier Field.

I chatted with Karl Malone at Taco Bell. 
He was in town for a football camp with his son at the Saints facility. His decked out big rig was parked out in the parking lot.

I watched Karl Malone play blackjack in Vegas several years ago when he was still in the NBA.
