I know this is a collectors site and not truly basketball, but who was the best player you ever defended, not played with, and how did you go ?
The best player I ever defended was Cal Bruton. It was the late eight's and he was the best point in the NBL at that time. I was guarding him and he told me where he was going to shot it from, I stuck on him and he missed, woohoo.
Next time he got the ball he said he was shooting it from the same spot and that he never misses twice, well he did, woohoo.
He did the third time and said again he never misses three times and he didn't.
For the record Larry, Leroy and Cal destroyed us that night, but they kept the scores close. They were all top blokes, all three.
Cal was coaching me as we played. Don't do that, well done, that kind of stuff.
From memory, I think I averaged 4 points and 4 assists in state league. But only played pick up games for one year and another year about 5 years later.
