I loved all three of those guys. All of them strong as an oak tree in the low post.

Shawnelle was a big, strong dude with limited athleticism who would always battle to get great position in the post to score.

Zendon had one of the most awkward games I've ever seen from a big man and yet was a double, double machine.

And Walter? Well, Walter was the Truth.

Walter was a beast down low, so many different moves. He outplayed so many taller bigs. Loved Walter's game.

There never was and there never will be be another player like Walter. And a great guy.

HBD to the Truth. Walter was automatic in the post. No exaggeration.

HBD to The Truth. For those who don't know, although Walter was from The Bronx, he attended Ben Franklin High School in Manhattan(a beautiful structure pretty much on the FDR Drive just south of 116th St). He played for coach Stan Dinner on some great teams along side players like Gary springer, Richie Adams and Kenny Hutchinson. Pretty sure the final year before the school closed, 1982, Walter led them to the city championship.

Walter and Kenny Hutchinson played with for my parish in st. Francis De Sales Easter Tournament when they were in HS. Got to practice with them a few times. Crazy good.

Really wanted Springer but guess Valvano out recruited us Adams too but he went to Vegas so maybe he had issues. Recall something about a sneaker print and a murder later on.
