JB is a personal hero of mine (as I'm sure for others here as well) and  I grew up in CNY idolizing the guy.  When a certain very important member of this board asked on my behalf for a picture of me with him after a Sweet 16 game in a hotel lobby a few years back, he said no ("it's too crowded, if I take one picture everyone is going to want one").

I still love and respect JB like crazy, but that stung (he was not with his family).  That's the only time I've ever had the chance to shake his hand and meet him, and I felt awful for clearly annoying him.  My kids weren't at the game, and they would have been flabbergasted to see me in a picture with him because they love him too.  I regret that my only real interaction with the guy was annoying him.  I don't think less of him and I understand, but still wish it had gone a different way - I was a 10 year old kid inside getting to meet him in person, but quickly felt old and stupid after.
