After a pretty surreal experience in San Diego and another few minutes talking to Mauricio in Carson, I have to say, we have one of the most class managers out there.
First, the guy comes out and totally surprises me and about ten other members of San Diego Spurs. I was genuinely shocked, and I'm sure that it comes across in the video. He was super nice and took photos with everyone, including my eight month old daughter. Gave us a shirt signed by the squad and made his way back to the locker room. What really really cemented it for me was two days later at the open training at the Stub Hub Center. I was about fifty yards away from him when he walked down the tunnel, he spotted my family and immediately waved and started walking over. I'm quite positive he was told by the PR folks that he needed to do signings cause he then walked over to the crowds of people and took pictures with everyone in that area. When he finally made his way over to where I was standing he actually stopped and had a five minute conversation with my wife and I. Some of it was in Chris' video, which has been posted somewhere else on here. Not hard to find. Anyway, he tells me that he's actually got the picture of he and my daughter saved on his phone. That fact even now still blows me away. We spoke about his kids and his dog. Really just a genuinely nice and thoughtful guy. I can fully see why everyone raves about his personality.
