This is only going to be worthwhile discussing, if you've graduated from UCLA, UNC, Kentucky, Kansas, Duke or nowadays Ohio St.

Francisco Elson would be the starting C on my school's hypothetical NBA team. Francisco ******* Elson. Your school wins this fantasy NBA matchup.

As for ex-players, of course UCLA dominates; Jim McMillian played for my grad school; Reggie Miller from my HS (and college of course). Lord, he was amazing already in HS, grew up down the street.

You're #42? Ouch!

Yeah, we'll count him since you had the direct experience. But how old was laddie Greg in HS? 23? 33? 43?

You need 4 others though.

Clang!

I just looked it up though.
Greg's career FT% is .666. Surprising.
Shaq has never shot .666 in a season. Best season .622; career .527. Damn....

my only other basketball claim to fame is that steve reid, who was on the free throw line when bobby knight threw the chair, is a family friend. and dude can still play hella good.

Damn, I thought playing with Reggie Miller in our driveway was awesome, but getting dunked on by Oden and knowing the guy Bobby threw the chair at is truly epic!
