So FedEx had two Memphis Grizzlies basketball players up there tonight to sign autographs. And the two players were Courtney Lee and one of my favorite players to watch growing up Vince Carter. I watched Vince Carter tear up the league back in the early 2000s and watched him win the slam dunk contest. He was always someone I had on my videogame teams as well when I first started getting into basketball videogames.
I would have to be crazy to miss this chance.
So long story short, I bought myself a Vince Carter Toronto Raptors card and a
Courtney Lee rookie card to have signed, stood in line for 15 minutes, and got to shake hands with a possible future Hall of Famer. Not bad for an otherwise normal night at work. :)
Bonus: When Vince was handing my card back to me, he smeared the #15 that he had just signed with his thumb. So now there is a faint thumbprint in addition to the autograph on the card. How cool is that?!
