Rough night for Champ; he never looked comfortable or got into the flow. Paul Reed played real well.

Such an incredible amount of talent back then that even Lew Alcindor couldn't make it onto that team.
But , his twin LEE Alcindor did .
Actually he preferred Lewis--a friend was his classmate at Power and when Lew signed his Yearbook, he signed it Lewis.
As a freshman Power did lose some games with Lew, but he came back as a “pro“ as a Soph. From his second year on, St Helena’s in the Bronx gave them a scare though. After Val Reid & Chimera graduated, LaSalle was not in same class as Power talent wise. DeMatha beat them at packed Maryland field house in a widely publicized, low scoring game.
Wiil never forget the call, "Phil Greene on fire" as he scored 11 points in the last 4 minutes to beat Syracuse at the Dome in Dec. 2014.
Just finished breakfast in my hotel in Tel Aviv and wherever I go around the world I am wearing my St. John’s old red Nike cap. A big big white guy walks over to me and asks what does SJ stand for. I said St. John’s university in Queens. He said I was not sure. He says I played bball against them in 87, I played for Pitt. I ask were Charles Smith and Jerome Lane on your team, he looks at me and replies you know your college ball. 
He says you had one hell of a tough front court player. I reply Jayson Williams or Billy Singleton. He goes to his phone and says yes Jayson Williams.
Off to the opening ceremonies in Jerusalem in a few hours which President Biden is attending. The President issupppsed to meet with athletes before, I told my son to take a picture if possible.

Just looking at Making plays post from last year
And boy does it appear to hit the nail on the head. Shoes has really been instrumental in the uptick in our recruiting.

Speaking of Jayson Williams - this crossed my timeline yesterday - incredibly moving read on Williams his struggles and what he's doing now to help others.

Life is very much like basketball—and so is the journey to personal recovery. No one knows that better than Jayson Williams, the former St. John’s University Men’s Basketball star and retired professional basketball player. He was a National Basketball Association All-Star who played for 11...

I saw something similar about him around 6 months ago
Hopefully he can help others after the tragic accident.
Love those Miami Vice Glasses. I think Dante's was giving them out that year
