You bet he is. I've ran in to him about 10 different times this trip, and each time I've thrown a jab at him and he's thrown a jab back. If anyone remembers me from this trip, it'll probably be Phil (and Crittenton, Cookie, and Lamar - I've seen them the most this trip). This morning, he even came over and said hello to me and I asked if he thought I was crazy, and he said he's seen much worse. Then, later on, when I took that action photo, he waved afterword (missed it). He still refuses to take a picture with me, though.
He's hilarious. Just as sarcastic and blunt as he is with reporters.

Only one! She was a busty brunette, I'd say around 22.  _________________ I drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive?

How do you always know what hotels they're staying at?
Shouldn't you be in school?
How much did that trip cost all together if you had to guess?
All in all great pics. Thanks for sharing, your a real lucky dude _________________ http://youtube.com/watch?v=WLZ3uDDAP0c

They stayed here two years ago and they signed a contract to stay here for awhile.

I should be doing alot of things, doesn't mean I always do them. Plus, I get straight A's, so missing a week of school won't hurt.

I thought the picture quality would be so bad because I was using a digital zoom, but it turned out pretty nice I guess. Leica does price. I wish I would've gotten SLR though.
I'm going to take a lot more pictures tomorrow (Hopefully, not lazy enough).
Enjoy  |

20) Saved the BEST for last (Kwame)
Hope you guys enjoyed the pictures. I suffered long waiting periods and humiliation to get all of these, but it was worth it, I'll admit. I slept in this morning so I couldn't get any more pictures. Now I'm off to the airport and back to LA. Thankfully, I'll be home in time for the game tonight on KCAL!
Stay classy Honolulu.  _________________ I drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive?

Dude, you are a true fan. You hung in there and got the pics. I stopped asking ball players for pictures because of the bad attitudes I'd get. Even the scrubs would power trip sometimes. I have mad respect for you. A job well done! |

Nice Juan, thanks for posting!

How tall are you man? You compare pretty evenly to all the non-centers in height. _________________

Royal Hawaiian (pink hotel) is right in front of the Waikiki Beach. Hilton Hawaiian Village is more closer to Ilikai and Holiday Inn. Although it isn't that far in terms of distance, but I wouldn't say it's across considering Waikiki itself isn't that big anyway. |

I didn't go with the package, solely because the package put everyone at the Sheraton, not the Hilton. What's the fun in that?

Ali'i, the players stayed in the Kalia and some of the coaches in the Tapa, and Kobe stayed in the Lagoon Tower.
Nice hotel. Not as many girls as I expected though.

Vlad looks funny in the picture you took with him, but not as funny as the picture with Andre Patterson, geez haha. The little tidbit with Phil was hilarious, and awesome you got the picture with Kobe. Thanks for sharing Juan, much appreciated. What an awesome week for you. _________________
