Over the years I have been lucky enough to meet a lot of the pros in person , if only for a few minutes.
In my opinion, here are some of the coolest, pros around:
Jay Cutler- He is often busy and has a big crowd around him at expos, but if you get a chance to speak with him , you will impressed. Guy is genuine and down to earth.
Bob Chic - may be the ideal spokesman for our sport. A must to say hey to, at any major BB event.
Bob is funny and upbeat, if you meet him, you can't help but like him...at least a little hehe.
King Kamali- (surprise!
) In person, with someone not trying to fuk with him LOL , KING is a really decent, polite, personable guy. He guest posed with Jay at the NPC La, a show I judged a few yrs back.
The guy was a lot of fun, very polite and I couldn't help but notice how well he treated his Barbara, his wife.King is very candid and comes off as honest with his own unique ideas on the sport and what makesa great pro, etc.King is very decent in person, around sincere fans.
Lee Haney- He won't engage in much idle chat about bodybuilding,but he is one of the real gentlemen of the sport. One of the best class acts ever to be on an IFBB pro stage. Lee is a reall man's man , very masculine, yet gracious , polite and sincere.
Roc Shabazz- This guy is a real character with a dynamic personality. He has yet to make his mark on the pro circuit, but is a welcome addition at any shows as guest poser or working a booth.
He knows how to work a crowd and is quite friendly.
