You sure it wasn't some big fat black woman with dreadlocks shopping at Wal-Mart for her kids with a Poe jersey on? :hmmm:

Allen Bailey is pretty recognizable, I think. He's got distinctive features and he's built like a Marvel superhero. But like others have said, I'm not confident in my ability to accurately identify celebrities, so I would never approach one.

He has to be seen in person to understand the size of the man. I saw him out and about a little over a year ago and it's incredible.

Autographs should be asked for at autograph signings and by kids. If you're old enough to drive a car, then you're too old to be asking for autographs. That includes pictures as well.

Or 10.

Not a selfie, but a paparazzi photo from a distance, just to prove you saw him.

As an adult, "I love your game, man." is acceptable. Anything more than that is not.

That said, it would be different if you ran into him partying at a club or something.

Fist bump your chest and do the quick chin nod. Walk away.

I actually got a head nod from Willie Wilson at O'hare a few months back. I'm still not sure if it was because of my Royals hat or my 40 time.

"Watch those carbs big fella"

I saw Poe at Qdoba a few weeks ago and it was embarrassing when some black kids saw him and kept screaming his name and telling everyone there who he was. Give them some privacy. If it's somewhere social like a bar or club I think it's understandable.

Yeah...no, don't think I would attempt to take anything away from Poe.

Yeah I bet he was like "****in BLACK kids!!!!"

I saw Andrew Wiggins, Joel Embiid and Tarik Black together at the Oak Park mall one time in the food court. Didn't want to bother them. I guess a grown man getting an autograph from a kid isn't very appealing to me. However, if I had a kid, probably would be worth the life experience to try to pester them.

Especially food.

Someone like Larry Gura? Sure.

But yeah - walk on by a member of the hottest team in the city & NFL. He'll already have to plan his escape through Walmart, as it is.
