My favorite remembrance is Weber's: Chris Webber (college squad player): I rode from the airport in a limo with Larry Bird, and that was such an honor. We talked about playing against the Pistons, different moves, all this stuff. He was just a great dude. Then, as we got out of the car and I was getting my bags, he goes, "Make sure you get your sleep, because tomorrow I'm gonna bust your ass, and you're going to remember it the rest of the week."
When I was a kid I watched a ton of basketball though which is why posts like this one are interesting to me. This brings back lots of great memories of childhood. When I was 13 I went to Michigan basketball camp and met Juan Howard, Jalen Rose and Chris Weber. -It was pretty cool. Bird, Magic, Jordan, Isiah, Dominique, Kareem, Spud.. this was the golden age of basketball. [edit] I should clarify that I was invited to watch it at a bar on TV, not the actual game.
