I'll go first,

I was still a senior in Highschool during the year 2016. I managed to score a pretty decent valet gig at a high-tier Steak House in Palm Desert, California. At around 9 that evening a beautiful old E series Mercedes pulls through the valet line. This man was wearing white and pink pants and kept his face tucked below his fedora-styled hat. He began to ask if I could leave his car here and I said "Sir I need to use this space, unfortunately", He replied, "If there are any issues tell them Bill Murray is eating in the restaurant and have them come say Hi at my table." Sure enough, it was Bill, I got to shake his hand and have a quick chat before he headed inside. On his way out he tipped me 50$, keep in mind I didn't touch his car at all, I got to say thanks for all the laughs and shook his hand once more.

Hopefully, y'all have fun with this idea, there's gotta be some great stories on here.

When I was 13 I got to meet Bam Margera, Mike Vallely and Nyjah Huston at the Zumiez Couch Tour in Littleton, CO. Mike V signed my deck and so did Nyjah, it was a BC classic.

They were famous in their own right but regardless, as a beginner skateboarder I loved them even more so. It was one of my favorite memories to date lol

I have a couple of stories about NBA players i met while playing 2k

First one, i played against Tristan Thompson in park and we ended up winning and he ended up inviting us to the party because he wanted a rematch. Pretty cool guy all things considered

second one i played against Kyrie Irving and he was in game chat talking to us, another cool encounter

The 3rd one was kind of interesting, i was playing Gears of War alone and i ended up doing really good against this 3 stack clan (all had the same names) we ended up winning against them and they invited me to their group to play 2 more matches. After that they asked if i played 2k at all and we hopped on and it turns out 2 of them were NFL players and one was a NBA player on the Timberwolves. I sadly didn't get their names because i didn't want to fanboy

Quick edit: The reason you can tell who people are in-game is because they get certain logos depending on what they do or did. There are a couple of logos:

NBA symbol= NBA player

American football= NFL player

Soccer logo= FIFA

2k Logo= Dev

Youtube/Twitch logo= Content creator

Tie Die shirt= Their clothes are in-game (LV/Supreme etc.)

Turntable logo= Their songs are in-game (ran into lil yachty/one of the migos but didn't interact with them)

Star= Celebrity (i also played against THE GAME a lot, he's actually an avid 2k player who usually reaches max level every year)

Shooting star= Make a wish foundation, usually someone who got scanned into the game, a nice gesture the devs do





And the only irl encounter i had was a singer named Ginuwine, i took my mother to a R&B concert a couple of years back and she wanted a picture with him and i told her id pay but she said "no no you already paid for the tickets at least let me pay for my own picture" but i kept telling her ill pay and he overheard us and took the picture with her for free
