Don't get why people wrote cool story bro either...
Wouldn't you be excited to meet Oly in person?...
I remember one time my friend met Paul Pierce backstage, and Pierce answered a few of his questions, and gave him a signed Celtics t-shirt... I mean... whats with all the negativity here?
I just wanna know the same, does he have game, and how is he in person?
Yeah, I agree, that's awesome, TPs for both of you! Your friend was sooo lucky! I got a picture with Tommy at Mohegan Sun one year, and then went back the next year and got it signed - does that count lol? Actually, my mom asked for me because I was too shy. Ugh. Looking back, I wish that I had cut my hair, because the picture didn't exactly come out that great haha, but I'll take it. It's been framed and is around here somewhere 
Did KO have his Jesus locks back, btw? I saw a clip about a week ago of him with some kids and it looked like his mane had returned 
NOOOOOOOO! So I guess what I'm asking for is more 'deets' 
We've already had a thread devoted to KO's new beach body , so tell me, how'd he look?
Man I always wanted to meet Tommy. Despite his homer-ism, he seems like a very fun and intelligent man to be around.
TP for sharing zee story.
I was amazed at how accessible he was lol. He was just sitting there court-side. Now, because it was so long ago I can't remember his demeanor, but I think it was more of a, "okay, let's get this over with," or something. Honestly, his signature doesn't look like it spells his name, but something else, so maybe he was drunk or whatever lol
I will tell you this though, and I believe that I have written this before, albeit a while ago - the moment we were done taking the picture (and yes, of course I said thank you haha), we were going to our seats I believe, and a few middle aged guys were there with their kids, and when we mentioned that we'd just taken a photo with him, the guy turned into a little kid, "Tommy!? He's here!? The Tommy Heinsohn!? Oh my god!" I don't know what happened after that, but it was pretty funny. He was like, "hold on kids, I've got to see Tommy!"
Hey, I completely understand. I've only been to two preseason games, both at Mohegan, and the year I got the picture was 06-07 and the next year was 07-08. It was cool seeing Pierce on the court. I was probably 20-30 feet away from him
I just remember being so nervous, not only when we took the picture, but even more so the year after, because I didn't want to seem like some annoying fan. I figured that he'd see the photo and think, "you got your picture - what more do you want?" I hate to admit it, but I completely chickened out, and it was only because of my mom that I got the autograph. It would have been better if she hadn't used the blown-up version, because it didn't look great with all of the various marks etc. already on it, not to mention the fact that she had it printed with Merry Christmas on it. Ugh. Having me in the picture didn't exactly help in the looks department lol, but hey, at least I was wearing my Pierce swingman jersey that, while it may be a dress on me haha, I found in the clearance aisle of Bob's for $15.00
Seriously. I should have taken my jacket off, but I still wouldn't trade that picture for anything. It kind of sucks how Boston stopped playing there and now go to the XL Center (or as we call it, the Extra Large Center
), because I think that it's more expensive, but I haven't looked at the prices for a long time. I wish that the Celtics would play 3-4 games a year in Hartford like they did in the Bird years. Now that would be awesome, but alas, it's never going to happen. Sigh.
