several:

went drinking with Lebron James for his 21st b-day (most relevant).
Tony Romo when he signed his $67MM contract
TO
Bradie James
Marcus Spears
DeMarcus Ware
Marion Barber
Jason Witten
(pretty much met all current cowboys and a lot of past ones)
several NBA stars:
Melo
all the Mavs
CP3

I'm a partner in a pretty good size sports concept in Dallas, and my parter is a pro linebacker. Makes me look like a superstar to my kids, as my kids sports banquets usually have a pro athlete passing out trophies

the most impressive one was when I took my daughter backstage to meet Miley Cyrus. My college friend plays bass in her band

I had a nice handshake with Joe Theisman. I also played picked basketball with Hasheem Thabeet in Tanzania.

I don't think I've ever shaken hands with any of these guys, and I certainly didn't ask for an autograph or anything like that, but I either know or have at least briefly spoken with all of these guys. I think a pretty obvious pattern will emerge.

Luol Deng-I know him the best in the group. He was very good friends with two guys who lived in my freshman dorm).

Demarcus Nelson-Spoken with him a handful of times. He probably slept with more chicks in 4 years than anyone else I have ever met.

Jay Williams-Saw him in the gym when he was training Johnny Dawkins's son. We talked for a little bit about his upcoming tryout with the Nets. Very friendly guy. I saw him a few years before playing beer pong in his wheelchair, with JJ Redick and Duhon

Matt Danowski-2007 Lacrosse Player of the Year and I believe he is the all-time leading scorer in the history of NCAA lacrosse.

Johnny Dawkins-Current Stanford basketball coach. I actually played in an informal game with him and his 12-year old son, along with 6 other guys. He didn't take any shots or drive to the hoop. Otherwise the game would have probably ended 21-0

and he's a lot less famous than the others on my list, but i was really close to seeing Felix Hernandez's gf's coochie. Had to give Felix, his gf, and his agent a ride from Dulles airport to a signing. His gf sat in my backseat in s short skirt...with my mirror adjustments i was very close to seeing the promised land, but couldn't quite get there. She was on the hump in the middle, and it worked to my advantage.

"Was he intense in person?"

Unbelievably laid back...meet him on a puddle jumper out of LAX...saw the ring and recognized him....very nice guy...also meet Coach Buddy ryan at BWI...another very nice guy....Buddy was visiting his son, who was an assistant for the Ravens then.
