Lance Martinez from My Detroit Sports provides this photo of Los Angeles Clippers star point guard Chris Paul saying hello to Detroit Lions head coach Jim Caldwell, after a recent Clippers visit to The Palace of Auburn Hills, for a game against the Pistons.

Though the two men did not overlap during separate stints at Wake Forest, the pair does have the ACC school in common. Paul played two seasons with the Demon Deacons from 2003 through 2005, while Caldwell served as the university’s head football coach from 1993 through 2000.

Here is an original photo of former longtime NBA player/current Miami Heat assistant coach Juwan Howard holding up a Michigan Wolverines jacket (while wearing a Heat sweatshirt) at The Palace of Auburn Hills. The picture is provided by Lance Martinez from My Detroit Sports.

Despite growing up on the South Side of Chicago, many fans still place Howard’s younger days in the state of Michigan, due to his three-year run with the iconic Fab Five, in nearby Ann Arbor. The Palace sits just 54 miles northeast of the Michigan campus.

Monday, Los Angeles Lakers hall of famer James Worthy was spotted at a CVS Pharmacy in the Brentwood neighborhood of West LA.

Ironically, another Lakers hall of famer, Elgin Baylor, was seen at the very same CVS, back in 2015.

The 55-year-old Worthy played 12 seasons with the Lakers, winning three NBA titles, while appearing in seven all-star games. Worthy averaged 17.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, during the regular season and an outstanding 21.1 points per contest, in postseason play. 

Lance Martinez from My Detroit Sports provides this photo of he and the late great Craig Sager, who passed away Thursday, after a courageous two-year battle with acute myeloid leukemia. Sager was 65. He leaves behind his wife Stacy and five adult children.

This photo occured outside of The Palace of Auburn Hills, during last season’s opening round playoff series between the Pistons and the eventual world champion Cleveland Cavaliers.

Sager was in the midst of battling his horrific disease at the point when this picture was gathered.

This original photo showcases Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown signing autographs before a recent game in Detroit. The picture is courtesy of Lance Martinez from My Detroit Sports.

25 games into his rookie campaign, Brown is averaging 5.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game, coming off the bench for Boston (Brown has started 3 games this season). The 20-year-old Atlanta area native played one season of college ball at Cal, where he earned Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honors. Brown was selected with the third pick in last June’s draft.

Here is an original fanphoto of Boston Celtics star point guard Isaiah Thomas signing autographs at The Palace of Auburn Hills. The shot is provided by Lance Martinez from My Detroit Sports.

For three pretty unbelievable reasons, Thomas stands as one of the most unique and unlikely great players in the NBA. No wonder an Isaiah Thomas autograph is a big deal for fans. 

1. The 27-year-old ranks as the shortest player in the league at just 5’9.

Above is original video of NBA icon Magic Johnson signing autographs at Detroit City Sports, in the Detroit suburb of Sterling Heights, Michigan. The clip is provided by Lance Martinez of My Detroit Sports.

The American sports legend grew up in the Michigan capital city of Lansing, which sits 90 miles west of Sterling Heights. Before becoming a hall of fame point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, Johnson became a hero in his home state, amid leading Everett High School to a state title in 1977 and the Michigan State Spartans to an NCAA title in 1979.

The annual automobile extravaganza takes place at the Los Angeles Convention Center, located directly across the street from Staples Center, in downtown LA.

Here is iFolloSports.com original video of Blake Griffin signing at the very same event, a couple years back.

A Giannis Antetokounmpo autograph has quickly become a big deal of NBA fans.
