Met Antoine Walker today

walking out of my building after work today on Michigan Ave and this 6'9 guy in a white t-shirt and green shorts is coming at me.

looks like someone i should know. 6'9 black male usually stands out.

nice guy. told him i am from Boston, talked for a minute. shook his hand which is the same as my fat head. Said he is rooting for the celtics which was nice i guess...........

brush with an athlete for the day

these kinds of things happen when you live in a bigger city. I mean, Dr Jack hangs out with Stallone every weekend.

Good point WCI. He is my HGH contact

Actually Walker is a very nice guy I heard. Did he vent about playing time?

Antoine is a great guy. Does an awful lot for charity, and loves to party. That girl was most likely his personal assistant.
