Zeke passed away today. He was one of the greats.

Zeke passed away today. He was one of the greats.

Had one of the meanest looking pics of all time.  He looked like a 35 year old Marine Drill Sargeant. 

I have a special connection with Zeke. He was the guest speaker at my Junior High Basketball awards banquet at St. James in Montgomery.  I was MVP of the all white boy St. James Jr. High basketball team.  We were 3-15 but I was a rock in the middle.  The go-to guy. Averaged a single-single every night.  I'm certain Zeke remembered me.

You weren't a 4 for 4 from the charity stripe kind of baller?

Srsly, it doesn't surprise me that you take a well intended thread to honor an AU great and turn it into a story about your playing days. Complete lack of class on your part, as usual.

Besides, I probably didn't have the height that you had at that age but I was a very physical defender and pounded the boards for a team high in rebounds on a regular basis.

Well, what good Auburn man is?

Listen up.  My exploits on the court were legendary on at least half the block I lived on.  You might have pounded the boards, as you so boldly proclaimed, but did you average anywhere near the 4.7 per game I grabbed?  Yeah, didn't think so.
