    Got to play some cards with Rafer "Skip" Alston. Super nice as a person. Solid card player.

    As a rando question - I did ask about his favorite NBA coach. Mentioned that he loved JVG, and Rick Adelman - BUT his favorite was Lenny Wilkins!

    On New Years Eve in 2009, my gf and I just had dinner at the Aquarium in downtown. As we were leaving, I looked to the left at the waiting couches and saw Scola with his wife and toddler. I shook his hand and asked how the new year's eve game went, asked if he got his double double. He was very humble about it.

    And around 2014, gf and I were at Trader Joes on Shepherd. Saw Kevin McHale in an aisle alone. Said "hi, coach" and waved. He waved back.

    A friend of mine is friends with JVG. Before he moved away from Houston, he invited me out to dinner with just the 3 of us and our wives. I ended up not being able to go because...oh, what was the reason.....oh yeah, my wife went into labor.

    I saw Matt Bullard at Moody Gardens. He saw me see him and recognize him and he made a face like he didn’t want to be talked to. I gave him a wink.

    Coming out of the Dome after an Astros game, I noticed Del Harris at a distance. I nodded at him and he nodded back.


    Even though he denied who we thought he was, I and many others thought that we saw Robert Horry in a store a few miles from Westside Tennis Club.

    I saw Matt Bullard at the Tom Keifer concert at the Concert Pub on 1960 when it was still open it had to be around 2013.
