As I mentioned in the "what famous athletes do you know" thread- My sister went to school with Scottie Pippen- he was a friend of our family for a time. He's unbelievably nice - very kind to my mom...
But, under the catagory of those you've met: I've actually met a lot of famous people, but I only have a story to tell about a few of them. Here's one...
We had really great season tix for the Bulls and our seats were in very close proximity with MJ's security guard/body guard. His name is Gus (he's quasi famous and an awesome guy). Anyway, sometimes he lets me go down the the locker room to hang. This one time we were going to meet MJ (I was impressing a date). We were hanging out waiting with Chris (Robinson?) Kid- from Kid N' Play (who was also really cool). Gus (black guy) introduces me (white guy) to MJ and says, "Mike, I'd like to introduce you to my favorite nephew" and Mike says shaking his head, "Gus, man, you got more favorite white nephews than anybody I know." Not the funniest thing that's ever been said, but when Mike says it, you laugh pretty hard.
We walked him to his car... it was pretty cool.
