[@matthewmacdonald9851]

I used to live in Houston and one day, my buddy and I were in line for crawfish at the Ragin' Cajun on Richmond, not far from the Summit where the Rockets played at the time. Who walks in right behind us, but Max. He was all by himself, didn't need some big entourage, just grabbing a bite on his way home like a normal dude. We showed him some love, complementing him on his last game, and he was just as gracious, chill, and down to earth as could be. Of course, he'd pulled up in the parking lot in his plum purple Porsche, so it's not like he didn't have his style, and I wouldn't wanna be on his bad side. But he was as friendly and humble that day as any NBA star could've been. The next year, he and the Rockets beat the Knicks in the finals.
