Two Euro-shooting Raptors big men walked out of a gym into the California sunshine the other day.

Andrea Bargnani and Hedo Turkoglu, en route to an idling bus, walked past a fan who politely asked them both for an autograph.

Bargnani, the first out the door, barely acknowledged the fan's presence, even though the college-aged devotee was holding in plain sight a jersey bearing Bargnani's name and number. The Italian just kept walking; and in his defence, only God knows how long it would have taken to sign for the throng of, uh, one.
