Firstly, welcome to the board, bigbear!
Secondly, though... you might want to reconsider the framing of your topic. Why is he a nice guy? Share a story or two, perhaps. I'm very glad you know and think highly of a player I respect from afar, but some more context for conversation would likely be smiled upon by the population here at large.

I went to school with Jason Kidd and Tony Gonzalez. Jason Kidd was an ass and Tony Gonzalez was a cool guy.
Lots of people went to school with Abdelkader at Michigan State, and lots of people went to school with the guys I mentioned above at Cal.
As Uncle Danny state, it would be nice to know why you think he's a nice guy (ie., is there a story?).

No big story or anything, and I wasn't real good friends with him but we did talk from time to time. I went to high school with him in Norton Shores. It's just that most of the other players on the high school team were cocky and rude while he was a genuinely nice kid. So he always kind of stuck out to me and I'm glad that people like him are representing our team. Plus I was just trying to familiarize myself with this forum being that it's my first time posting on this or any other site. And thanks uncle danny for the warm welcome!

I went to high school with Mike Piazza's brother (Former MLB Catcher) and spoke with Mike a few times if that counts for anything. Mike graduated before I was in high school so I never actually attended with him.

Blueadams: "Mike, Mike, Mike! I liked your new line power play combos 5 on 3 set-up the other day night. They were bitchin, man."
Mike: "Thanks! You can thank the new assistant coaches for ..."
Blueadams: "Can you put Franzen with Z and D, and move Hudler down with Helm, and move Filppula and Hudler down with Franzen, and ...."
Mike (turns, walks away, and muttles under his breath): "Jesus."
Blueadams later: "..... He completely blew me off."
