Like I've said before I will never knock a kid for getting a scholarship no matter where it's at... thats a good thing and I congratulate em for it. But some of these college choices baffle me... If It was me personally I wouldve went with Syracuse or Villanova Now hooville may try to say some bullshit, but this one I know for a stone cold fact! Collin most definitely took money (among other things) and I ain’t mad at him for it! Just don’t wanna hear no gump telling people they’re above board.

nptb17 Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 First of all. Most of Max preps list like this are complete garbage. This list is no different. Indiana and Virginia are the squads who would be the toughest to beat. New York would be tough as well. Texas would not be able to get the ball up the court. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My "maybe" was referring to the era 1960's maybe. I am not sure if he was 60's or 70's. Same w/ Rasheed Wallace, heard of him 80's, maybe early 90's.

I am 74 and remember reading about Wilt at Overbrook in the ‘50’s. I met several at Hershey who saw Wilt score 100 points in their arena. For myself Kareem is the best I ever saw and this includes the two games with DeMatha at Cole Field House. I would choose Wilt over Kobe to play against Kareem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the high school level, I saw Kobe twice on tv during our PIAA state championships beat up on Saquon Barkly's alma mater in Whitehall HS as well as Erie Prep and once live while home for a birthday during our 96 PIAA playoffs at my local high school gym. Lower Merion came up and got upset in overtime but Kobe still dropped 30+ and what was really cool was Kobe's dad took him into the other team's locker room at end of game and congratulated/shook hands again w/ all the opposing players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When DeMatha ended Power Memorial’s 71 game winning streak on their second try in ‘65 (only game Kareem/Lew Alcindor lost in hs) Kareem went into DeMatha’s locker room and congratulated them. (Three players on that DeMatha team played in the NBA.) Off topic: I have actually shaken Kareem’s hand. Twenty or so years ago my wife and I had dinner at Chinois on Main in Santa Monica. When we walked out I stupidly was not looking where I was going. Kareem, sitting at a table had his legs out and I tripped over one. I didn’t fall but he helped “catch me.” Afterwards I apologized profusely and he shook my hand. Can I mention how big of a hand Kareem Abdul Jabbar has? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
