Bo Lamar NCAA greatness

[JamesTheJeweler]

Well, I'm not sure he thinks he shared the court with you!

Haha! Well, not like I did anything to stop him. It was funny too, because none of us really tried to guard him. He never drove to the basket. Just launched them from half court. Its like we kept thinking, theres no way he can keep this up. We were so wrong. I think he missed ONE! To top it off, the ones he made were PERFECT! Net sounded like someone firing off a damn .22 rifle in the gym!

It’s a classic for sure.

This is several different players, Bo is at 47 seconds. Two of his shots.

Lights out in Blackham, about as close as we’ll get. Was in the name of the clip.

I played Bo in a game of horse one spring. Had to be 78 or 79. There were several things all going on at the same time around Cajun field. Fan fair or something related to get fan support for USL athletics. Bo had volunteered to play against anyone. I can't remember if I had to donate some cash to play him, but if I did it wasn't much. Anyway, the goal was outside the old athletic complex and it was a windy day. The fact that it was windy was a big deal because Bo had problems hitting the bombs from downtown. I was decent in horse and was very good with hook shots from 6 to 8 feet out. Bo couldn't make hook shots! I had to borrow some tennis shoes from my friend, AL Gray, because I had flops on. When I won the game on the last letter, Bo signed a cardboard award sign stating I beat USL Great Bo Lamar. Not lying. I have this sign buried away in my attic. When I retire later this year I'm going to dig it up and get it framed so I can display with my other UL artifacts.

That is some sloppy writing. Terrible.

Yeah, shut up.

Lex, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I read it and it was fine. A cool story, too! I would love to meet Bo Lamar one day but I don’t know if I’ll ever get that luxury. Watching that 360 shot is so cool. I wish Basketball was played the way it was in the 70s!
