Bigbeast - playing with those guys had to be great to think back on.
I played with Jamal tinsley a few times when he went to tilden. He was a hood dude back them. His handle was ridiculous. When I saw him on TV I couldn't believe that was him. He didn't even play for tilden back then, he was just like a said a hood dude.
I played in a open gym with erick Barkley and some other guys I can't remember. That point that had went to uconn around that time. Erick was really quick and could tear drop from 3pt range. I know cuz he was doing it to me. I remember being really pissed that day.
I was never "nice" but I was pretty good back in the day. I should have played for my school. I was very angry back then.
The Uconn pg your talking about was most likely Talik Brown....he was from queens.
Yeah, thinking back on those games brings back a lot of memories. I was pretty good (for my size, think Spud Webb) but no where near the level of the guys I balled against. I ended up working at that tournament the following year and watched a young Majestic Mapp play (he wnent to Virginia but tore up his knee) Saw Waliy Dixon play (the Main Event from And 1) Tim Thomas, Shaheen Holloway....
