Upon arrival, he did not have a hose to fill the waterbed (one of the items I setup), so he asked to borrow ours. Sure, not problem since he said he'd return it with a few free tickets. Well guess what.....didnt even give a tip for the 3hours service call nor did he ever return the hose.
Played (open shooting) hockey once on Lake St.Clair with a Red Wing..but forgot his name now. He was well known. Guess im lucky it wasnt Probert bahaha. |
Nice story to hear as I grew up in the Detroit area and in total have spent roughly half my life there. I met Herman Moore, WR for the Lions at the time. Also ran into Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, and Sergei Federov. I'm amazed I never met more of these guys. Great sports town for a number of decades, now total trash.
On a side note I know a lot of people who've ran into Kobe in the Newport Beach/Irvine area. I moved to the area just a few months before he passed, sad I never got to see him.
