Magic Johnson has to be the coolest guy around. always signs autographs, probably the nicest megastar there is out there. I've asked three separate times and he's signed each time and smiled. I've even had the privilege of getting to meet him on more of a personal level through my dads work. Just a true class act... impossible to dislike him.
Most athletes I've gotten to get autographs from as a kid are really nice guys, or acted like it anyways for me. It really takes a special kind of person to turn down a kid for an autograph in my mind. 5 seconds of writing your name on a paper turns into what will be one of a kids best moments in all of his childhood. I've got a couple other cool autograph stories, but no need to name drop... or write an essay for that matter.
Not really into asking for autographs anymore though, maybe a picture if it's really that big of a deal to me. I just don't hold these guys on the same pedestal i used to as a kid.

Yeah that's how I am, growing up my idol was favre which is weird because I was a skins fan but it's because he's from my home town, anyways I was able to meet him and got a signed football. I'll say this Brett favre really is a good dude IMO, even as I got older I still remembered him taking the time out for me, then I went to a Dallas raiders game around 15 years old and Jerry rice was a total douche bag so they are all different
