I met Kobe a few times during his rookie season when the jazz played the lakers in the playoffs. Have a couple of cool stories. He was super cool at that point.

I stood right behind MJ at a golf tournament. So we’re basically best friends.

Worked with Lebron once. The thing I remember most is how shameless he was about farting in front of other people. Like he'd just lift a leg and let one rip like it was nothing.

The other thing I remember is at one point the director was trying to elicit a fearful response from him and said, "okay now pretend you've just seen a lion, how would you react?" and Lebron smiles and does a hugging motion, saying something like "I'd hug him because we're equals." Thought that was pretty funny.

I've met Jordan twice. Once in college at a bball camp and once at the Presidents Cup when it was at Harding Park. Ive only seen Kobe and Lebron from the stands.

Unfortunately I've only managed to be in the same building as Kobe and LeBron.

I have a friends who's a swimmer for Aus and she has some interesting stories about Kobe and Bron from the Olympics.

I've met LeBron a couple time through the years. He lives 10 mins from me. I've seen him out and mostly just polite stuff wish him well etc... mostly neighborhood stuff. I did talk to him once a little more at length and also friends with one of his neighbors, he's a great dad and real nice person. He does a ton for the City of Akron and those that live in it. I will say that everytime I see him out over the last few years he always has his children with him and always making time for them. And yes he's very down to earth and a regular person like the rest of us......we all laugh at farts.

I went to Laney High School a few years after Jordan went pro. He bought the team shoes every season and they had a nice little memorabilia area set up from his early years. Never met him ,but drove by his family's house every morning on the way to school. Basketball goal in his driveway he practiced on was still there. PE coach that cut him was still there lol

A team GB player has been down at the pickup game I play in a few times. I asked him about the GB vs USA exhibition match before the London 2012 Olympics as I was in the stands and he played.

After the game both teams went to a club as some of the GB and USA players knew each other from college.

He said he stood there with his pint of lager while some of the most beautiful women he's ever seen were hanging around the USA players, Lebron took over the DJ booth to play his own music and the only person not there was Kobe as he stayed in the arena alone to practice. I said sounds about right!

Now when I fart I can tell people I have some of the same talent as Lebron.

I caught a T-shirt shot out of some type of slingshot by a guy dressed in a Rat costume at a Albany River Rats hockey game one time

I was a god in that section of seats that night.

Met Kobe who nobody wanted to meet in 97-98 season at a club I was working at.

Met Shaq that night and it was a MUCH bigger deal.

He is an immense human being

I actually dont think that's the case. I personally think she was DTF but said no to a few things and Kobe forced her. Either way people make mistakes and I'm not saying he is going to hell for it
