Basketball in Blackham

[Trigger74]

I use to let Marvin and on occassion Elvin borrow my car for dates before I went into the service and on to VietNam.

My 1st game in 1970 upon my return was at Lake Charles. Game sold out. Final got security to get message to Beryl that i was outside. He got me into the lockerroom and I sat on bench to watch game. There I met Bo and others, thus starting friendships with Bo, Big G and others.

As for the dunk. If Bo knew he was coming out at the end of a game and usually a fantiastic performance, he would eith dunk it behind his head or do a 360 dunk. Yes, we got a T, but oh what it did for the crowd.

Wow I remember.... While Pistol Pete is romantacized in these parts.. and for good reason despite the error of his choice in schools.... I dont know if i have ever seen a more exciting player than Bo... and i did see the Pistol on TV (couldnt help myself) and many times in person when he played for the Jazz...

Both were flashy.... but Bo just had a style about him... hell Pete did too... i dont know...lol

While I think Bo was probably a better pure shooter, Maravich as just magical with a basketball. No one could come close to doing the things he did. My memory of him is that he was the most exciting player I have ever seen, even to today.
