Rodney Purvis Interview

[HBTHPodcast]

What's up guys! Rodney Purvis joined our show yesterday, so I figured I'd share that here.

 

[Stew Crew]

Every time a player steps on the sideline with the ball, we say, "He pulled a Rodney." Even so, he is one of my favorite players.

That is a Selvie not a Rodney.

 

[Chuck]

That is a Selvie not a Rodney.

Definitely a Purvis. Selvie was more of a black hole. Throw the ball in and it'll never come back out.

Rodney's biggest problem was the expectations put on him. He represented the school well during some down times.

 

[Kitaman]

That is a Selvie not a Rodney.

I blame Selvie for you not seeing the difference.

 

[brihman]

Imagine the Ferrari in Hurley’s driveway

 

[Ha Who]

Every time a player steps on the sideline with the ball, we say, "He pulled a Rodney." Even so, he is one of my favorite players.

This guy the next section over at the XL would scream “c’mon Purvis”

 

[Dutch Boyd]

That is a Selvie not a Rodney.

Nope

 

[JonnyRI]

My family still does same religiously. It seriously seemed like every single game without fail.

Loved him though.

 

[Chin Diesel]

That is a Selvie not a Rodney.

Respect for the OG.

 

[Matias]

Never forget those legendary pull up NBA-range 3 bombs

 

[donyell34]

I always love when Johnny Selvie's name comes up. Black hole or not I liked him.

 

[Waquoit]

I always love when Johnny Selvie's name comes up. Black hole or not I liked him.

That was his job, to get the ball down low and score. And he was good at it. And he did step back over the baseline more times than normal.

Rodney Pride!! My neighbor here NC knows him well.

 

[John]

He was easy to root for, thanks for sharing the video.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Splitting hairs.
A Selvie is stepping on baseline/endline.
A Purvis is stepping on sideline.

 

[Waquoit]

Splitting hairs.

More like greater precision.

 

[bfs3]

I met some clients here around Atlanta that were UConn fans because Rodney is a cousin.

You must be 20 years old.

Nope

You don’t know husky history.

Nah. Once per game.

That is a Selvie not a Rodney.

Thank you. Finally some respect.

No respect from the younger generation. Unreal.

My daughter, class of 2016 hung out a little with Rodney. Said he was a great guy. Omar Calhoun and the great Phil Nolan as well. Imagine Phil was the starting center on a team that won the national championship unbelievable

Respectfully, you are inaccurate. No one stepped on the sideline more than Purvis. No one. I don't think Selvie even attempted a 3 in his career. The only time he saw the sideline was checking in/out of a game. Baseline is another story.

By referencing when my account was created, are you implying that I am some kind of fair weather fan? I saw my first live game in 1981 and have been a season ticket holder for 35 years.

47 years old and UConn grad class of 98. Anymore nonsense from you?

Selfie was the bain of JCs existence. But UCONN made the final 8 with him starting.

I recall a number of games where Rodney tried to put the team on his back, but nobody climbed aboard. Glad that's all in the rearview mirror.
