Lets hear some of the favorites.

Brute force
The Dream
Black Swan
Aircraft Carrier
Doc

Was digging through the archives of the tribune the other day and was quite amused with Bill "uppy" Downy from the 40's!

Yep.

True story. I ended attended the Al McGuire Medalist basketball camp at St. John's Military Academy in the summer of 1973. Al shows up, and we are all expecting him to talk about basketball strategy or maybe the players we knew (Luke, Lackey and such). Instead, he spent the whole time raving about this new kid he had coming in. He kept saying "Bo this" and "Bo that" and I was just wondering who the hell was this Bo guy. Turned out to be a pretty important recruit.

Earl Tatum - "The Black Jerry West"
I was lucky enough to have lunch with Earl a couple of years ago. He said: "When I met Jerry West after signing my contract, we headed to practice and he rolled the ball over to me and said, 'I always wanted to meet the Black Jerry West.'"
Man, Earl had one of the beautiful jump shots I've ever had the privilege to see.

I remember an article on wit and wisdom of al that mentioned a blue collar bench player with a funny workingmans type name that I can't for the life of me remember darn!

[Goose]

Goooo

I was at that basketball camp as well. I attended Al's camp many times over the years. With a little help from Al, I was most improved player three times. Obviously I did not bring much talent to the camp.

Yes, his outside shot was a real thing of beauty.

Grasshopper is top ten all time favorite player of mine. Pope was a one of a kind guy.

Lloyd Moore "The Incredible Bulk"

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Teenage Assassin.

Would've been even better for Howard since he'll be a teenager almost 3 full seasons.

You don't remember the "Herb from the Curb" calls?
