Interesting Spurs Sightings

[The Truth #6]

I thought this might be interesting for a thread to post various non-creepy stories about seeing Spurs out in the community, that ideally doesn't devolve into a critique of their on court performance.

Without getting into details, I heard a story firsthand from someone who lives at Haven for Hope, the main homeless shelter in San Antonio, and two weeks ago Jeremy Sochan was there volunteering, helping serve food. It sounded like there weren't any camera crews or anything planned. I thought that was pretty cool. That's all.

I'm sure others have their own sightings...

I saw Harrison Barnes at a grocery store in Los Angeles this summer (I think he lives in LA in the offseason). I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I heard a story about some guy meeting Samuel Dalembert while that guy was wearing white pants, I know Sam wasn't a Spurs but that was pretty cool.

My wife saw Tim Duncan at Staples buying a printer once. She to have me pull up a roster so she could ID “the really tall guy” she saw

I saw Patty Mills at the Hawaii airport last year. He was going on a flight to Sydney. He was keeping himself at a low profile because he was wearing shades. Pretty sure I was the only person around that recognized him so I didn’t approach him or anything but I did take a picture to show off to my friends lol.

I ran into LaMarcus Aldridge at HEB once.

We were in the pancake aisle looking at different kinds of syrups. He grabbed a jar of molasses which he was dropping into his basket. But he missed and it broke on the floor and started to seep everywhere. I moved out of the way so I wouldn't mess up my shoes. LaMarcus wasn't quick enough and the molasses got all over his shoes.

We both looked at the molasses and then at his shoes and then at each other and we both started laughing.

Saw Wemby at HEB late last week. He had this extremely long list on an old school scroll looking parchment that just rolled across the floor for hundreds of yards

I was at the Adelita Bar in Tijuana one time and who do I see? None other than Zarko Paspalj. He saw my Spurs hat, gave me a head nod, and then when I went to the bathroom he paid for my hooker while I was gone and I got up in them guts just for the $10 to the hotel.

Not a Spur but I saw Becky Hammon at the Maggiano's at The Rim literally 2 nights ago.

Ran into Julian Champagnie at HEB a few months ago.

Saw Timmy and his wife Vanessa leaving a Chinese food restaurant once.

Met Jock Landale and his hot gf at a Target 3 years ago.

Met David Robinson years ago at a Harlem Globetrotters show in SA.

Met Danny Green at a Texas basketball game in Austin years ago. They were playing his alma mater UNC.

Met Devin Brown at a Best Buy once.

Met Malik Rose at the Ghirardelli's Chocolate in North Star Mall as a kid lol.

Haven't met Sochan but he fucked my ex girlfriend's bff and she said he was an asshole and kicked her out afterwards lol.

I was pretty good friends with Paul Pressey when he played here. I was with a group of teenagers looking for autographs when he looked directly at ME and asked me to move away from his car. We fell out of touch after that, busy schedules and all, but every time my phone tells me the number calling me is spam, I wonder if it's him.
