"- Carmelo's first half: 5 of 9 from the field, 12 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists. Active on defense. Stuffing crumbums. Stripping fools. In the third alone he put up a 9/6/2 line; led the team with 24/10/8 overall. Previous Melos were the heroes New York deserved: a penthouse player on a skid row squad. Three-dimensional Melo flips the script. He's the hero we need.The Knicks have a puncher's chance against anybody because of KP's limitless future and Carmelo's peak present."

Be still my heart.

You also left out Maravich, who Magic stole all his moves from.

When he wasn't playing basketball, Junebug played slide trombone for the Dirty Half Dozen Brass Band.

Nice

Pistol Pete watched Soul Train.

It's also truly amazing that he stole Crenshaw's moves while living in Pennsylvania and the Carolinas.

LOL!!!!! He just playing with you.

Everyone knows Revert Andrews was the trombone player and the band didn't form until 1977!!!!

Mister was thinking about JuneBug Johnny Johnson from Zebulon, NC, outside of Raleigh who taught Pete many things when Press was away on road trips. The only thing ole "3Jay" made him promise was he'd ware them floppy socks as a shout out to him!

Dear Uncle Nalod;
sort of figured out the AnswerMan was playing with me when the google of Junebug Crenshaw only resulted in:

Doris Green (Crenshaw), 70 - Covington, TN. View in depth free public information, contact info & photos on anyone like Covington TN resident Doris Green (Crenshaw)

Besides, ain't no one got time to spend teaching white boys to dribble out the car window at 50mph...

Sure they do, when they hold them by their ankles!

I knew that at minimum you 2 were related

Not by blood, only by adoption. Unca Nalod felt sorry for me when Papa dropped me out of the car while practicing my dribble-crossover.

Actually, I think I'm actually older than Nalod anyway. These 16 levels of separation really get deranged sometimes...
