This is seriously one of the coolest moments I have ever experienced. Just got back from the Rio again.
I went after my softball game for like a hour. He told me to come back Monday at 12 to support him lol. There were so many cameras around him at times. (I think I might be on tv when they show it on ESPN of him and I talking lol)
I wish I could have recorded our convo with my phone but I didn't want to look desperate and ****. It was funny because when I walked in the room he found me before I found him. He was like "Look at my man all decked out in my jersey in Vegas!"
When I was driving up there I seriously thought he was going to be a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. with a big ego, but man was I wrong. I didn't even ask him for his autograph or a picture. When he took a bathroom break he told me to follow him and he would sign my jersey and take a picture.
He came out of the bathroom and signed my jersey (gave me his sharpie lol) and took a picture with me. I told him if he could flash his championship ring in the picture and he said "nah man this ring is ours and all the Celtics fans out there."
When I got at his table there was no one watching him til I got there . Everyone thought we actually knew eachother because I had his jersey on and he kept saying "you see that my man" after every hand he won. Some drunk red sox fans were trying to get his autograph while he was playing poker but he told them if he was going to give out autographs he would have to give everyone autographs. Then he said he would give me his autograph first because I was the only one wearing his jersey. But yea he started out with 30k chips and finished with 62k chips. If you are in vegas Monday go check him out. I am going for sure but idk if he would get annoyed if I ask him for another autograph on my Celtics fitted and picture.

Thanks for sharing!  Sounds like a big thrill.  (I have seen PP on tv playing poker  and read he has a place in Vegas...maybe that is how he is making ends meet during the lockout ;) .)  Let us know today's adventures!

Thats awesome! TP Paul seems to be a guy that respects his fans. I live in south Fla. Went to a miami game in early 2010 the game where rondo hit a buzzer beater throw in ally for the tie. Well after the game, from where i was sitting about 13 rows from the bench I strolled down a little futher cause he always throws his handband and stuff. The kid in the pierce jersey was right next to me and he threw his handband right to him then as he was going into the tunnel he had a towel around his shoulders and I said Paul how about the towel and he threw it right to me. You my man have got me beat and thats awesome that you were able to meet him personally and all! But yes Paul is a good fan guy and one of the many reasons he is my favorite player of all time.

"nah man this ring is ours and all the Celtics fans out there."

After he said that you should have said, "so if it's ours can I wear it (or if you really daring 'have it') then?"  

Lol, wonder what he would have said to that.

Cool story dude.

That is pretty cool!

I wonder if Kobe would ever do something like this?  Well, maybe if you were a woman he might bring you back to his room :o

Paul is definitely a cool guy, really seems to care about the fans.

TP for sharing!
