A few off the top:
Ronnie Lott in SF - that one was funny cuz here is one of the baddest men to ever play football and he looked like any other frazzled dad getting frustrated by his wife and teenage daughters. He also wasn't 10 feet tall like i imagined. I'm 5'11" and he might be a smidge taller than me.
Sugar Ray Leonard - LAX to Vegas. I saw him and it was cool, cuz i grew up on his era of boxing, but wasn't gonna bother him. My daughter (14 at the time) didn't know who he was but saw people taking pics with him and wanted a pic. He was super gracious and charming as hell in our 2 min exchange. Looked at my two year old son and said something like 'he's beautiful, it makes me want to have another'. As a new parent you eat that shit up.
Common & Chris Mullin - separate times, but notable only in that they were flying Southwest. In my head i was like 'that's how you keep your money'.
