Whoa! Felipe is 50? Where does time go?

Felipe will always have a place on my list of all-time favorite Johnnies. Class act throughout his four years and even moreso in the years that followed.

If I had the magic to change a few moments in St. John's history, Felipe's last shot in the first-round game vs. Detroit goes down and St. John's advances. The guy deserved that moment...

I was at that game in Chicago against the University of Detroit Zendon got the offensive rebound from Felipe’s miss and was fouled the refs failed to make the call.

What could have been.

My dad took me to the mcdonalds all american game at carnesseca in 1994. Felipe was the mvp of that game.

Egads, the passage of time is getting out of hand! Remembering this wonderful Johnny dredges up so many feelings….like that Sports Illustrated cover, and did it bring with it so much pressure to be the savior of a program, and a nationality? Either way, he was/is a spectacular dude, who handled it all with tremendous grace….

He was actually starting to find his stride in the NBA and had gotten a nice contract before injuring his knee.
