Title: New Sports Illustrated "Point After": Nice article on Ron Howard
Post by: 77ncaachamps on April 23, 2014, 05:41:06 PM
Didn't realize he is the career leader in points in the D-League.

Good article on perspective of what's important in life.

He was great in the Andy Griffith Show, though I thought he was out of his comfort zone in Happy Days.

Yeah, my first thought was "Opie"?

Edit:  turns out, he actually did play some basketball.
"Something I am not too proud of, so therefore not many people know too much about it, is when I was in high school, we had a rivalry -- I was at Burroughs High School, our crosstown rivals were Burbank High School -- and on the basketball team I started a bench-clearing brawl," Howard told us. "And it was one of those things where the guy I was guarding was somebody I played with a lot; he was a bit of a rival. I fouled him hard, he threw an elbow, I took a wild swing, nobody really hit anybody, and then suddenly the stands just went Woosh! And it was bad and a couple really did get hurt, so it wasn't all in fun. It was dangerous."

His performance in American Graffiti was solid. Great music in that movie too, by the way.

Looks like he really made a splash in Ft. Wayne.    Many happy days there.    Far and away the best scorer in D-league history.    Glad he didn't go into a cocoon there, instead letting himself become a Cinderella man.

A few days ago, Ron was named the NBADL co-MVP.

Today, they beat the Santa Cruz Warriors for the NBADL title.

I'd be happy if Joe decided to hang it up and take a coaching position with MU.
