I Got to Talk to My Childhood Hero On Twitter. Great feeling.

[will2survive]

Now, I have talked to guys like Joe Namath on Facebook; there are several athletes that I've messaged with, but Christian Laettner ( who is only 2 1/2 years older than me) will always be my favorite athlete. Of course there was Bird, Magic, Jordan, etc but in college, Christian Laettner was one of the best EVER.

He was better than Shaquille O'Neal in college and Shaq will even admit that fact. This was a dream team player that was great and outshined all of the inner-city greats.

On Twitter, it's very rare, no matter how nice that you are, that you get a response. I'm not a phony and people sense it.

All I can say is that I got my response and I wasn't disappointed. This dude, is so personable and most famous people in general aren't.

Just a great moment; I can't take the smile off of my face. The moral of the story is never say never in life.

But that was a fake account.

absolutely not. It's validated. It's easy to recognize a REAL account from a phony.

[King Mayan]

All of us here in PT, went thru a big ordeal to verify a fake Christian Lat account..

We just wanted to make you happy for an hour or so..

We love you Willie!!!

They use twitter to talk about themselves


Social media part of America's problems

He sent Christian five massive tweets, and all he got in return was "thx". He couldn't even be bothered to spell out thanks.

Just settle down, Will2. You kind of sound like a teenaged girl getting retweeted by Justin Bieber.

[Big Bear]

how do do you know it was him?

it could have been TTwarrior behind that other computer screen.

[jjgold]

I bet the real celebs don't even read most responses

I set up accounts and rip them

Call them racists , thugs, thiefa, druggies, ect

[Big Bear]

I woke up this morning to find out that Christian actually "followed" me now. To have your favorite athlete follow you on Twitter is an HONOR

[jjgold]

Keep us updated willy

[will2survive]

Definitely!

Nate Robinson is my favorite athlete

so where is this tweet?

[ChalkyDog]

I only jump on twitter to berate asshole like Dick Vitale.

I've done well for myself in response.

Also, to like a Duke player above all else....

Boo this man.

[jjgold]

It would be classic to get stars to respond but that is like hitting the lottery

[will2survive]

so where is this tweet?

I'm not going to print it publicly (that's direspecting him). It was a belated birthday "happy birthday" that I gave him (I said other stuff too). He then replied personally (doesn't have to be on his page) (You can communicate privately). LOOK AT WHO HE FOLLOWS....my screename is there. He just added me today

OP has no reason to lie

Tell that prick the T-Wolves want their money back.

Impossible. They give white people bad contracts as often as banks.

Just check who he follows--I just don't want to "disrespect him", so to speak. Thanks, friend ----I love Duke basketball and Laettner was a boss in college; one of the greatest ever.
