Who Am I? | March 10, 2010

I attended a college that currently has 14 former players in the National Basketball Association. Not many schools have that many in the Association. Some of those guys were my teammates. I am not one of them to play in the NBA. All time my alma mater has graduated 75 guys to NBA.

The National Basketball Association by way of St. Lawrence County, New York – that is a short list. I am on that list. I do not know if anyone else is on that list, but I am on it. Here is an even shorter (if it can get any shorter) list – guys from St. Lawrence County, New York who have played…

I was taken in the seventh round of the N.B.A. draft. You read that right. The draft used to be more than two rounds. My rookie year I had teammates who played in the Pac-8 and Big Ten. Some might have suggested I did not belong because I spent my college days…

I was the center piece of the trade referred to as the Louisiana Purchase. I went in one direction and two players and four draft picks went in the other direction. Two of those eventual draft picks were…

<!1. I never minded living in the shadow of my older brother. I enjoyed making all those left hand turns on the ovals. What many don’t know is that I also won a NCAA championship for cross-country skiing. In fact my feats on [...]
