My opinion of Priest changed that day. I understand that an athlete is under no obligation to sign anything from anybody. But the way he rudely turned that kid down was shocking. Maybe he had his reasons. But you could definitely tell the kid was down syndrome, and was just so excited to see the players, especially Priest. The kid was even wearing a #31 jersey. Un-****ing believable how it all went down.

This is actually shocking to me. I saw him when I was probably 12 in the height of his success here. He was in an explorer with team preist an 22" wheels or something. Dude was clearly on a date and me and my over hyped 3 adhd cousins rushed up to him. We didn't have anything to sign or a camera but he kindly greeted us and was really cool.
