    he was at nordstrom in fashion place mall in murray utah.

    he was wearing a ball cap backwards and was sporting a team USA jacket.

    sorry guys no pics... i didn't have even my camera phone with me.

    but i did stop and say hi to him. i think i caught him off guard... i was like, "Aaron Brooks!" and he looked at me like, "Who the F@%# are you?"

    haha... he wasn't expecting anyone from utah to recognize him or be friendly to him i'm sure.

    i went up and shook his hand and chatted with him about the game tomorrow night and how well the team has been playing lately. i complimented him on taking over the starting point guard job.

    he was very gracious and said thank you. he was very friendly and he made it a very cool experience. he gave me an all out high five and a chest bump and thanked me for the support.

    then i told him with a laugh: "PLEASE WIN TOMORROW NIGHT!" ...as if he needed any more pressure to beat this damn jazz team. :)

    just thought i would share. if you didn't already know, AB0 is a stud.

    2 Questions.

    1. What are you doing in Murray, Utah?

    2. ...and a chest bump + high five? Hahaha

    Seems like a lot of people are meeting AB recently too.

    You should've asked him if he'd seen Tony Parker lately...






    Kidding.

    LOL. That's possibly the most un-hip way to explain that ever.

    Ive met AB after the Suns game downtown, hes real cool, but that BS about a chest bump is very iffy buddy. He's an extremely laid back guy and that wasn't the vibe i got.

    By the way, he really got a kick out of gettin that lay-up by Shaq.

    I was thinking the same thing....


    AB is way chill, I used to play College Hoops 2K8 with him all the time on the 360.

    Don't mean to threadjack, but I met AB at Emerald Bowl on Friday after the Minnesota game (around 11:30 PM). He had his own flag-designed bowling ball. He only bowled one game and if I recall correctly, he scored around a 160.

    My friend asked to take a pic with him, and it was obvious he was tired, but he agreed.

    No chest bump, not even a shake hand then half hug type thing.

    No one else at the alley recognized him except for the employees. AB had reserved a lane.
