Paul has been misunderstood and hated by some around the league most of his career.  Even Boston fans hated him at one time (and some still do).  For that reason, I think he really takes to heart the fans that appreciate him, especially the ones that wear his jersey :D.

Oh, and tp to the OP.  That was a real exciting experience you had. 8)

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 **** 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.

TP, great story!  Paul seems like a good guy and it was nice of him to hook you up like that.  I got his autograph a few years ago after a game but he seemed like he was in a little too much of a rush to be very friendly.  :)

Thanks guys
I am still in shock man.
I felt like I was in the "make a wish" program. Got a picture with him, got him to sign my jersey, talked to him for a good hour, and he told me to come back tomorrow any time after 12 pm.
What else could I ask for from my favorite basketball player since I was a little kid.
I am not going to ask for his autograph unless he offers again. I might ask for another picture. I will let you guys know how tomorrow goes
