It depends on what you consider famous I guess

Ben Crenshaw and Lance Armstrong are customers of mine.
Chris Mihm has been a customer of mine....so has Roy Williams (WR)
Gregg Popovich and Sean Elliot used to be customers and hook me up with tickets to Spur games. I waited on Albert Bell when I was younger waiting tables and knew Sidney Thornton real well.

I would rather have met and hung out with Wilt Chamberlain though If I could choose

I have a retail fine wine store in a rich neighborhood. When I gave up on pro ball I decided to go into the wine business. edited to include :To be honest I didn't know who Ben Crenshaw was until I met him

Top 4 (In order of how "star"-struck I was)
1)Michael Jordan
2)Wayne Gretzky
3)Lance Armstrong
4)Tom Brady

I've met some other famous athletes. However, I am embarrassed to admit, that as a grown man, while meeting the top 2 (Gretzky and Jordan) - I had a hard time getting anything intelligent, or in sentence form, to come out of my mouth.

Other than UncleLester, has anyone but me met Michael Jordan? Cause it'd be cool if just him and I were the only ones. I'd feel special.
