Tony Parker, San Antonio Spurs Guard

Tony Parker was drafted 28th overall in the first round of the 2001 NBA draft by the San Antonio Spurs. Parker has played his entire NBA career for the Spurs. He is a 4-time NBA Champion (2003, 2005, 2007, 2014), 6-time NBA All-Star, and 2007 NBA Finals MVP.

Tony Parker was signing autographs at Tissot in New York City. When he arrived there was a mob of people outside taking pictures. Luckily, I was one of the first people on line. The line move very quickly and I got to meet Tony within a few minutes. Tony signed multiple items and took pictures with everyone who asked. He signed my basketball and a photo that Tissot provided. I told Tony that I hope he comes to New York. He said he doesn't think that's going to happen and we both laughed together.

This was such a rare appearance, since Tony plays basketball in Texas. It was a pleasure meeting a future Hall of Famer and adding his autograph to my collection. Thank you Tissot Fifth Avenue Boutique in New York for hosting this great event.

Tim Hardaway Jr., New York Knicks Guard

Tim Hardaway Jr. was drafted out of the University of Michigan in the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft (24th overall) by the New York Knicks. The Knicks signed him to a 4-year deal worth $6.1 million.

Tim was signing autographs at the White Plains Chrysler dealership in White Plains, NY. My goal was to get my official game ball series NBA basketball signed by Tim, along with two photos that I printed out. Driving to White Plains wasn't easy for me, but it was definitely worth it. When I arrived at the dealership Tim was already there signing autographs. There wasn't many people, which was a good thing for me. My chances of getting multiple items signed was very good. Tim signed any items and took pictures with everyone who asked. He was a really nice guy and took his time to greet all his fans.
