I lived in the same town as Barry as a kid. One day my brother had a baseball game at one of the high schools and me and two of the other younger brothers were out walking around. We went on the football field and there was Barry fucking sanders, doing some drills on his own.
He was so cool to us, he said he was about to go inside and shoot some hoops and he took us with him. We spent about 30 min with him before we went back to the baseball game. I was 9/10 and didn’t fully grasp how rediculously amazing the experience was for a few more years.
No one ever believes me when I tell them I played bball with Barry that day. But I did. And he was the most down to earth superstar ever man and he was so kind to us when he could have told us to buzz off.
Barry Sanders for life man.
I met herman Moore at a Burger King about 5 years later and he was also nice but nothing could compare to that random June day at Rochester Adams high School.
