Stephon
NYC's Point Guard
KIlled at Georgia Tech, but left too early
Got booed hard at Knicks home games. The curse continues.
Those Starbury shoes sold for 14.98.
When he first got to Minnesota he had to sleep with the TV volume way up. He's from Brooklyn, he needed noise.

LAWRENCE MOTEN
My Favorite shooting big man from the golden age of New England basketball
Big East All-Time scoring leader. The Big East is where basketball Lives and Works.
New Hampshire's greatest contribution to the game.
Cuse all day. Another Total Package from Syracuse University brought to you by Jim, crappy weather and ugly girls
Did the tall socks first, still a good look.

HOYA A.I.
I like him better when he's in school
Tompson never let anyone leave early to the NBA, but he understood that Allen could heal the world with the swagger/slash n' jump
Won 2 Big East defensive player of the year awards, straight theft if you put the ball in front of him
Went number 1 in 1996, he had his whole crew at the draft,he spent 10 minutes kissing babies, giving daps.

OAKLEY
MUTOMBO
Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo.
Speaks English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and 5 African languages.
Probably the best post defender of all time.
Stopped getting T's for waving his finger at players after a nasty block by turning around and doing it to the crowd. Smart.

FAB FIVE
Jackson, King, Howard, Rose, Webber
Went to the NCAA Championship game as Freshmen in 1992. Lets stay positive and not get into that T/O in 1993
Introduced America to baggy shorts. Had to have em' or you were nowhere from 92-99
They got booster money for Isuzu Rodeos and Compact Disks so the NCAA took the banners down. Party Poopers.
UTEP TWO STEP
I went to his camp a couple of times. He'd show up in a burgundy Lexus and sign a few shirts, cross a couple kids up and jet.
Hardaway got to 5,000 points and 2,500 assists faster than any player in NBA history except Oscar Robertson.
Those remarks on the radio wounded his hall of fame eligibility, and made my signed rookie card equal in value to a lawn care flyer
Loved those early Warrior squads. Tim Hardaway + Mitch RIchmond + Chris Mullen = Run TMC.
