Default basketball autographs

Tonight was the Georgia Tech mens basketball scrimmage and autograph session. Not many people showed up (Tech hasn't switched into basketball mode yet) and I was able to do pretty well. I also sat front row for the only time in my life to watch the game up close.



Gani Lawal 8x10. He flirted with the NBA draft after his junior year, he was projected as a late first-early second round pick, so he came back to Tech. Really nice guy, wanted a copy of the photo. (signature looks better in person than in the picture)


Georgia Tech team signed 8x10 that i made. Managed to get every player and coach Paul Hewitt. The team was great about signing. They were provided with crappy silver sharpies by the athletic department but switched to blue with no problem.


Also, Glen Rice Jr. (son of former NBA player Glen Rice Sr.) is a freshman at Tech, so maybe we'll see his dad at a few tech games.

Yeah i'm probably going to. He's a local guy, from the high school twenty minutes from me. The tech players are pretty accessible before games so I think I won't have any problems.

Update

tonight was another Georgia Tech game. I gave Gani Lawal his 8x10's, and stayed after by the players exit for some autographs. I got:

Derrick Favors 8x10

Iman Shumpert GT program.

got to speak to a lot of cool basketball players from both the home and away teams. Went much easier than i thought

Georgia Tech upset Duke today. I hate Duke and went with a friend to get Tech stuff. Tons of people there for Duke, but none of them signed on their way out. Most of the people left after Duke left. I was able to get:

John Salley 2/2 (was being honored for being part of Tech 1985 team)
Mfon Udofia 1/1 also gave him the copy he asked for
Derrick Favors 1/1

It was freezing cold, Atlanta is currently frozen from a little bit of snow a couple days ago.

my high school played against the high school that Georgia Tech PG Mfon Udofia attended. I didn't know it, but his jersey was going to be retired at halftime. I had a couple tech tickets from earlier in the year just in case, and he was more than willing to sign them for me.
