I live in the same city as Barry Sanders, but I haven't seen him running down the street lately.
Before the '94 Final Four tourney, Michigan came to Wichita to play their first round games, and they practiced at my high school gym. Security closed the gym off to prevent mobbing, but with my brother being a big basketball star, he got to go in, and in turn got me to go in as well, so I got to meet the Fab Four (Webber had moved on to the NBA by this point)
