Chance encounters with prominent sports figures?

[wilsowilso]

Was sitting in a restaurant in NYC with my mom around ten years ago. In the middle of a conversation she looks up and says to the man who is currently walking behind me "now you must be a basketball player."

Before I can even turn around a deep loud voice retorts "No ma'am...I'm a Camel Jockey."

The entire section of the restaurant starts laughing as I turn to see who the heck just made that really odd statement that everybody found hilarious.

Patrick Ewing and his entourage had arrived in the house. They looked like they were ready to have a good time.

Ewing was still one of the King's of New York at that time.
