    Billy Preston out again. How long does it take to "find a clear financial picture"

    Sometimes good keyboard players are hard to find.

    Rec Center Basketball Court, Paintsville

    I joined the army in 1986. Have not played there since that as I've always lived here in SC since that. Since I was somewhat older than a lot of the regulars there I figure your dad would be younger than I. I'm 63 now. If you want to shoot me a PM and let me know the name of your Dad I'd...

    No, Norway. Some awfully beautiful scenery in Norway. In the Summer, at least.

    Your Louisville hatred...

    I really don't 'hate' Louisville or their fans. Fans are fans everywhere just like the general population. Some are good, some are bad but the most are just average people supporting "their team". That being said, the two games a year we play Louisville I 'hate' the dickens out of them...

    Nightmare final four scenario...who ya want?

    I think most can agree on UNC, Duke and Louisville. But, for me I would replace Kansas with UCLA.

    Dunk question

    Not Doc but another of those "old ABA" starts who were also stars in the NBA, to few (in my opinion) know about. George "The Iceman" Gervin and his legendary finger roll. He was also a very fun player to watch.

    Dunk question

    There are several Doctor J. mix tapes on youtube. The thing with Doc was, you could pick most any game he played and pick out a top ten plays which were better than most other NBA players of the times whole career. Not just his dunking but his body control and ability to adjust in the air. He...

    Dunk question

    Doc was who MJ wanted to be when he grew up. Far too little film of Doc exists as he spent most of his prime years in the ABA. It is worth watching what film does exist though. Even after the merger when he was with the Sixers he was amazing. Some of the things I saw him do on the limited TV...

    The most underated Guard to play at Kentucky was...

    I realize it is before a lot of fan's time but I always thought Larry Johnson never got the credit he deserved. Also, Truman Clater (Clator?). He was a streaky type shooter but when he was on... I seem to recall an SEC tourney game against LSU where Dwight Anderson broke his wrist early and...

    Killing time: The legend of 'The Blur.'

    Was in Freedom Hall for the game against ND. I recall (maybe memory is wrong) he split the defense a couple of time and the rest of the game the ND guards fouled him before he could commit a charge. Watching it later on replay I can recall Dickey V. going all hyper and declaring "a star is...
