Sports celebrities you know
For the non hockey guys here he coached the Spokane Chiefs, Won a Stanley Cup coaching the Red Wings and Olympic Gold coaching the Canadien team. Dude is a stud and a riot. Fook is basically every second word out of his mouth.
My tie in: Took him turkey hunting. For my wine..err archery guys he shot a Darton at the time same as I did. Darton the only bow that costs like a Martin but shoots like a Bowtech.

I once raided a craft service truck with Juwan Howard. I stretched my shirt out and he loaded it up with a dozen cans of Yoo-hoo

"Sweet" Lou Hudson (6 x NBA All Star, Atlanta Hawks) helped coach my high school basketball team from time to time.
My family knew Ed White (4 x Pro Bowler, Vikings, Chargers) pretty well when I was a little kid; my Dad was a small time sponsor of the Chargers in the 1980's. I can remember sitting at a training table once at UCSD during pre-season with Don Corryell, Dan Fouts, and Kellen Winslow. Had no idea as a little kid that Don was a Dawg and Fouts was a dirty duck. -
So was Ed a Pro bowler before thy started doing all that shitty pre contest hype up the crowd bullshit? Nothing funnier than fat out of shape white dudes fist pumping the crowd then spinning a 16lb ball down the ole lane.YellowSnow said:"Sweet" Lou Hudson (6 x NBA All Star, Atlanta Hawks) helped coach my high school basketball team from time to time.

I once helped set up a basketball court for Michael Jordan. Borrowed the court and baskets from the Long Beach Arena, brought it all back to the Warner backlot. We put together the floor and then set the baskets, and it was my job to crank the baskets up into their proper position. MJ walks in, takes a look at both baskets. Points to the near one, says "That's good." Points to the far one, maybe 80 feet away, says "That's low, by a half inch." We got a tape measure and a storypole to check the height, and he was right on. Turns out I didn't crank it all the way. In my defense, (NT)

My dad knew an ex-Husky who made the pros in the 60s and early 70s IIRC. I'm not dropping names for several reasons, but he's past retirement age. I really don't know him though.

This is easy, @DerekJohnson

I know John Elway he's a family fren! Also, played touch football with Ndomkung Suh at a resort in AZ while he was suspended for stomping on a player. I was playing QB so i knew i was fucked. Nonetheless, the gayme got heated when he pushed me into a water feature.

No real ones.
I grew up with Darren Morningstar. He was consensus Wa state hoops player of the year in 1987. Had his pick of schools bit strangely chose the Naval Academy because he was a David Robinson fan. Didn't hear about him for a while, then caught a glimpse of him sitting on the bench for Pitt a couple years later. He was huge now, 6'11" and pretty overweight and clumsy which was a shame. As a 6'7" senior in HS he was skilled and coordinated enough to play the point but that was long gone. Ended up getting drafted at end of round one by Boston, then cut in the preseason iirc.
That's it...unless you count Aandy and Fleenor. I've gotten pms on dm.c from both of them which was a real highlight of my time there. -

I was at Al Bianchi's Supersonic basketball camp when Elgin Baylor pulled up in an El Dorado with no one else around so I gave him a tour until one of the camp guys told me to fuck off.
Told Howard Lincoln, Mariner owner, to pay his fucking bill at Nintendo world headquarters.
I've met far more movers and shakers than celebs. -
