Ran into Tyson Chandler Today (Very Nice Guy))
 For our anniversary we decided to stay at the Conrad for few nights and while we were checking in I saw Tyson Chandler in the Lobby talking on the phone. I didn't want to bother him while he was talking on the phone so I waited like a creeper while my wife was checking us in lol. After he got off the phone I was able to chat with him for few minutes and he was very friendly and he found my wife saying "So what the hell did you eat to be that tall?" comment kind of funny. The whole Knicks are staying here for the Pacers game tomorrow and He told us to come down for breakfast at 9am and everyone will be down there. After we checked in we just went to PF.Chang cross the street to get something to eat and he was there as well and he told me to 'Stop stalking me man" LOL He paid for out check as well,Super Duper good fella and I'm now a fan of him. He was very kind enough to take photos with our screaming kids and my little girl was pulling on his beard and he just laughed about it. Just saw Melo in the elevator!!!! Saw Torue Murray too but didn't know who he was lol.  Iman

My wife being a huge pacers fan she told him we are going to the game and 'I hope you lose' and he just laughed it off. |

*Side Note* Just saw Kenyon Martin in the hallway and we are in the corner suite and he is in the room right in front of us. Let's just say he had some company with him....

Kenyon is most likely the new era version of Bill Russell. He's pretty much been with every high profile nba groupie and female rap star alive. So although he's not scoring much on the court these days, he sure is gettin' buckets off it.

That's awesome, I'd be down to get breakfast at like 8:30!!! Great to hear stories like this after always hearing the bad stuff. Knicks players must get sick of it to.

I met Tyson last year in New Orleans before a game real cool dude and was interacting with the fans him and Steve Novak are defiantly some of the most talkitive guys when signing autographs. It's cool running into athletes though at hotels I was in Cleveland this year and met about the whole Portland Trailblazers team and riding in the Elevator with them defiantly made me feel short lol

NBA needs more players like him. Play hard and mean on the court. Play nice and cool off the court.
