I've never met a pro athlete, but I've got my intro rehearsed should I ever. I'm bold enough to ask to sit with them (I figure, what do I have to lose!) I agree with your general assessment of leaving celebs alone, but somehow, when it comes to your favorite player on your favorite sports team, the rule just doesn’t seem to apply. I would have asked your girlfriends sister to interview the few brave ones for info! It would have been fascinating to know what they came away with from their encounter with two all time greats.

Living where I do, seeing NBA players is never going to happen. I did get to see the Celtics play in Miami back in the 90's and followed their bus back to the hotel after the game. I got pictures with the players and they were very gracious with the fans standing around in the lobby for an hour or more talking with fans and posing for pictures and signing autographs. Most players realize how much an encounter with them means to fans and are very kind and gracious with their time. I loved this story. Living where I do, seeing NBA players is never going to happen.
