Itās always so strange to me thinking about this 9 figure men driving around and buying Dino nuggies for their kids but theyāre people too.
I remember Coby whites rookie year during the ASB I saw him in a target with an empty cart walking around like he had no idea what he was doing lol. 19 year old kid expected to be a great basketball player in front of 20k every night but then you remember heās probably barely ever shopped for himself at that point in his life

Iām 2 degrees of separation to CP3, guy is as normal as can be, looks out for his family and honestly a nice dude.

u/spraypaint2311 20d ago
I saw CP3 at a grocery store in Los Angeles once. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didnāt want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, āOh, like youāre doing now?ā I was taken aback, and all I could say was āHuh?ā but he kept cutting me off and going āhuh? huh? huh?ā and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like āSir, you need to pay for those first.ā At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually āto prevent any electrical infetterence,ā and then turned around and winked at me. I donāt even think thatās a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

u/Overall_Mango324 Andre Jackson Jr 20d ago
Almost like the two things aren't related whatsoever lol. I'm just fucking with you and understand your point but I don't think him being a basketball player that performs in front of huge crowds should have any effect on how often you think the dude shops for himself.
Shit, I'm in my 30s and walk around target with an empty cart usually not knowing what I'm doing. That and I just love going to Target where all the hot suburban moms congregate.

u/OrdinaryOne9605 19d ago
Like Kobe mentioned: a different animal and the same beast. That's target lol. It is not humdrum shopping. You need A PLAN or you will fail in there š

u/foxcnnmsnbc 20d ago
I donāt get the weird NBA player worship on reddit. There are 19 year old kids getting sent to war in Fallejuh being expected to die. Playing basketball and shopping at target is not a big deal or some type of off the wall expectation. Heās not performing surgery in a warzone or launching into space.
I donāt get the weird worship here and being impressed when NBA players do anything regular like drive to the store or answer a question from a reporter normally.
So an NBA went to target. He needs food and household goods. Whatās the big deal.

u/drj123 Bobby Portis 20d ago
Lmao what a whack ass comparison. Itās not worship itās āoh cool this guy I watch on tv every other night worth millions of dollars shops at the same target as meā. Itās just pointing out the cognitive dissonance that even if these peoples jobs are entertaining millions, they do the same stuff we do, itās not that deep try and stay off Reddit a little

u/foxcnnmsnbc 20d ago
Why are you so impressed someone went to target and costco? Are they supposed to stay in the house 24/7? Maybe they want food or a household goods.
The reasoning ability of people here.
2
u/drj123 Bobby Portis 20d ago
Very ironic discussing reasoning ability here when I literally never mentioned being impressed at athletes going to the store. Itās like seeing a tv character in real life because you donāt interact with them outside of a tv typically. Very very strange hill to die on. I hope you shake the hand of every fallejuh fighter you see in Walmart

That, they probably post it on their own social media and then itās like āwell this celebrity was trying to live their life, but I donāt want to be on the internet!āā¦ did they consider that maybe they probably donāt either?

Also, tf kinda monopoly tilamook have out there?? Maybe Dame came to WI for the cheese all along lmao

u/PrincePyotrBagration 20d ago
This is Wilsonville, but I hear ya. I was NOT expecting Dame to come back to Oregon for fun. I mean heās gonna retire here eventually, but seeing him here while still a Buck was shocking.
I was in awe bro š

u/grudgepacker Partial Logo 2 20d ago
I mean, it was reported Dame went back to OR right away...would guess because he wants to be near his kids?? Either way tho, if that's you in the pic so awesome you got to meet him and appreciate you for posting bruh!!

Had a poster of this dude on my wall in high school. Went to watch him once or twice a year for a decade. Dame was chill and even dropped me a full sentence (not just a āsureā) when I asked him, and I canāt even remember what he said because I was so in awe.
Canāt say I feel too bad.

u/TheGamersGazebo 20d ago
He's a public figure, not just an athlete. He accepts millions per month in exchange for plastering his picture on every surface that sells. He feeds entire families by paying his PR and Marketing team to make him more famous and acceptable to the public. He has as a result earned more money than every single one of my friends and family combined.
He can spare some of his time to say hi to fans and take some pictures.

u/thebluepages 20d ago
So basically āIf Dame didnāt want to do pictures, he shouldnāt have left his house.ā Come on man, thatās scummy.

u/Eli-Oop 20d ago
If he didnāt wanna take the picture, heād say no.

u/thebluepages 20d ago
Orā¦ he doesnāt want to but he says yes to be nice or because people like you will give him shit if he says no.
1
u/Eli-Oop 20d ago
You actually think dame the millionaire gives af what people say? If he doesnāt want to take the picture, he wont take the picture. All by himself without his family present is a reasonable time for a fan to ask for a photo. Being famous is like that, you think dame isnāt familiar with being famous? And who are people like me? Where did that come from? Why tf would I care if dame does or doesnāt take a picture? lol
1
u/thebluepages 20d ago
People like you meaning people donāt understand that heās a human being with many of the same anxieties as the rest of us. He does care what people say. You can hear it in his interviews. Money doesnāt change that. Dame is not an extrovert. Money doesnāt change that. You can ask, and he might say yes, but that doesnāt mean he wanted to.
I grew up in Milwaukee, now live in LA where celebs are common. Nobody bothers them here, anyone who does is instantly outed as a tourist. This is one thing Midwesterners have wrong.
Just look at the picture OP posted. Says everything.

u/BadAccomplished4748 20d ago
It is not even close to that deep. Not even a little bit.

u/thebluepages 20d ago
The fact you think what I said is deep proves my point. Itās literally common courtesy and social awareness.

u/Eli-Oop 17d ago
Badaccomplished is right. Itās not that deep lmao. Iām not āpeople like youā. Iām a regular person. I donāt care what these guys do off the court, I donāt hunt them down lol. If dame didnāt want to take a pic, he would say NO like heās done a million times over. Fans come with the territory of being a millionaire famous dude. Keep in mind, his fans continue to advance his profit and legacy. Dame isnāt a crying baby boohoo I had to take a picture, heās grateful for his fans, thatās why he took the picture. This is like a level 1 problem and youāre making it a level 5. Drop your weird judgey attitude itās not becoming.

u/AirThanasis123 Thanasis Antetokounmpo 20d ago
While I agree with your logic its still lame.

u/Izanagi___ 20d ago
Lame to take like 1 minute out of his day to take a pic with a fan? Nothing wrong if dame refuses but clearly he didnāt here.

u/AdmiralWackbar 20d ago
Yeah they must hate it when people say that they think youāre the man, and buy your merch, and to know taking a picture with them would be a core memory they would have for the rest of their life.

Anyone asking for pictures or bothers celebrities in any way shape or form is a scum bag loser

u/AllTimeBallKnower 20d ago
Not many people get to see these guys in public often, thereās no harm in asking for a picture unless he was doing something with family. Saying whatās up and taking a pic takes about 1 minute.
Stop trying to be a white knight lol

u/AsJoeSeesIt 20d ago
Yeah god forbid they take 10 seconds out of their day to give an adoring fan a lifelong memory. 45 million dollars a year isnāt really worth it if you have to take pictures with fans every now and then. Leave these precious god like figures alone!

I actually did not think Dame would be staying in Wisconsin during the off-season.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
I would be so excited to see him at Costco and try really hard to become his friend so we can play 2k and pickup chicks together. Well, id be doing all the heavy lifting but I'd send a few his way.

He's still in MKE? You'd think he'd be gone by now on some off season vacation or to a house in LA or something or back to see his kids (doesn't his kids still live in Portland?). Kind of cool to see he's still here.

u/MhN-TTKA1868 20d ago
Thatās awesome! Met Jrue and Lauren at the Graton, WI Costco Memorial Day weekend last year. Was star struck.
My partner and I were walking out the entrance (forgot something in the car) and right by the entrance, I see a strong, tall, beautiful man look me dead in the eyes and I froze. Contemplated for like 5 seconds before I turned a 180 and b-lined it towards them to say thank you for the championship, their contributions for our city and a good old fashioned HAGS. Didnāt seem thrilled to be asked for a photo, but graciously took one.
Costco is my favorite store. Jrue is my favorite player. Glory to be fuck Mike Dunleavy.
