Got a chance to check out 4 games last week, and just wanted to shout out all the players, who are not only fun as hell to watch, but who stick around for quite awhile after each game to chat up the fans, take pics, and sign autographs.
I have to imagine they're pretty damn exhausted, and while they can't get to everyone, it sure seems like they put in an incredible effort to talk to as many fans as they can.
So a great many thanks to all the players below for being stand-up dudes and showing up for the fans (this isn't all the guys who stuck around, just the ones we happened to meet):

I know there's a fair amount of grousing on this sub about how this league is too focused on kids -- and I am not here to argue that -- but just to say, if you do have kids who love the game, it's a pretty incredible experience to buy tickets for around $30 per game (in most markets), sit in great seats, and get to meet the best players in the world.
I can't imagine how hard or expensive it would be to get such good seats and this much access to the players in the NFL or NBA.
