When i was in grade school and Shaq was leaving LSU at the time, he was in Indy for the final 4 as a spectator, I tried to get autograph and his exact words were

"GET OUT OF MY FACE PUNK" .......Hated him ever since
and it is ashame he is not living the life destined for him

Nicest guy I met was maybe surprisingly Jim Calhoun. I am sure there are others but that is all I can remember right now. also met Dick Vitale but he is an idiot.
In Shaq's defense, I probably wouldn't have gave a guy in a KKK wardrobe my autograph either...

Payne Stewart. While living in LV in the 90's, I won an amateur entry into the LV Invitational Golf Tournament. The format was 4 ams playing with a different pro for the first 4 days of the tournament. The other three ams in my group paid the $7,500 entry fee. On Friday, the 3rd day, Payne was our pro. He barely acknowledged us as he showed up on the first tee a minute before the required time. He never spoke to any of us, and we had a particularly poor golfer in the group (remember he paid $7500 to play), Payne actually stared this man down more than once until he picked his ball up and got out of the way. Payne was not having a good round, and muttered and motioned constantly, obviously blaming his poor play on us. He was amazingly perplexed when I and one other golfer ignored him when he tried to shake hands as the round ended. I know he died tragically, but he was a jerk.
