If you rode in an elevator at the same time as Kobe Bryant?

I was checking into my hotel room when I saw some black guy and an old spanish woman walking up to the enterence. For a second I thought he kind of looked like...Nah, couldn't be.

But it was.

Turns out, I had arived at my hotel at the same time as the Lakers.

When I got in the elevator a couple of guys rode with me. They were HUGE black guys and an old spanish woman who was with Kobe (no idea who she was). One guy was Kobe and I assume the others were Lakers but I can't pinpoint who they were.

I was nervous, but I turned to Kobe and I said "so did you win tonight?"

And he said "nah."

That was our conversation. But honestly, if you were Kobe, how much would you really want to say to some guy in an elevator?

Later on I checked on line and found out he actually had won. This one is much more exciting than my Larry Bird story.

What would you have said?

    This is exactly how it would go with me:

    "AHHHHH!!!!! I AM GOING TO PUKE!!!!"

    Then I would puke.

    I know the feeling kind of.. when I was 13 years old I was on an elevator and on hops Barry Bonds...before he got huge ..when he was with the Pirates.. I am a big cub fan and knew they played the cubs that day... So I asked him if they won? and he acted like I was not there..I saw on Sports Center that he let go of his bat that game and it hit a 10 year old fan injuring him.. But is always a little nerve racking being in elevators in general..

    I'll be really nervous and stuff because I would not like to be looking stupid in front of an NBA star. I would have said what's up kobe and said that was quite a show you showed in the 4th quarter and the 2 overtimes.

    I would act like i know nothing about the NBA and call him Shaq. Then I would throw all these Shaq quotes and nicknames/phrases around, and ask for his autograph. The reaction would be 1 in a million.

    He would look down at my feet, to see that I had Kobe 6's on and then I would ask if he would autograph them. It would be sick.

    Sorry, but it sounds like BS to me.

    Could be true, but your just not very detailed or convincing.

    I would have asked him about his take on the Ron Artest elbow and when he is thinking about retiring
