The person running the signing was kind of rude. She was moving people through the line as fast as possible so there wasn't much of an opportunity to say anything to Tyreke. They didn't allow any posed pictures like the Curry signing, which is why sometimes it's better just to pay a little bit of money and see them at a paid signing. You're not rushed through the line so you can have a short conversation and take a picture as well. It's just a better experience overall.
Since we couldn't take pictures with Tyreke, Steven went outside to take a picture behind him since Tyreke was sitting by a window.

Luckily I met Tyreke before the season started when he did a signing at Dairy Queen in Sacramento. Apparently nobody knew or cared about Tyreke Evans at the time because I could've gone through the line countless times to get more and more autographs. Since there weren't many people (75-100 max) I was able to get an autograph, have a short conversation, and take a picture with him.
He's a quiet dude, but he seemed cool. I think meeting him then is what made me a fan now. Also, I forgot who brought it up, but I should've worn my Curry jersey on Saturday. It would've been interesting to see how all the Kings fans would've reacted to the lone threat standing between Tyreke and the Rookie of the Year award.
Here's what we got signed:
