I was there with him, he was a year ahead of me and in his late 20s if memory serves me correctly. He was very nice and really articulate and always had a smile. The latter Perno years were not great, but I'll alway remember Sgt. Eddie Williams fondly.
I've been to 15 of the 30. Grigg St. in Greenwich belongs here. Some notable ommissions are Mike's in West Haven, Milestone in Thomaston, Frisco's in New Haven and Roseland in Derby.
Honestly, the last 2 times I've been to Sally's have been completely underwhelming. IMO Zupp's, Roseland, Modern and NH Pepe's are all better choices, as is Zeneli's which is also on Wooster St.
Love this. Somehow I wound up a huge fan of tennis during that era. All the personalities on both the women’s and men's sides seemed larger than life back then, and Agassi was one of the biggest stars. Graff was legendary as well and I would be remiss if I didn't mention Martina Hingis and...
Sarah Strong and Azzi Fudd are both so easy to love. They each play a refined, efficient game that is flat out effective. I was a huge UConn Women's fan back in the Shea Ralph days and slowly drifted away to a point of mild interest during the last 2 decades, but Strong and Fudd will make you...
My take on Clingan versus Thabeet is that Clingan was a far better overall basketball player while in college. For example, he simply had screen setting and passing abilities that Thabeet will never have. When you factor in Clingan's defensive presence in the NCAA tournament I recall a team...
Clingan was All Rookie second team. What did Thabeet ever accomplish in the NBA? Absolutely nothing. If he was as good as you think he was, he wouldn't have had the NBA career he did.
He was 7'3" and therefore blocked a lot of shots. There's a reason he never averaged more than 3 points and 3 rebounds in the NBA, he just wasn't very skilled. In fact, he was one of the worst uses of a draft pick ever. Outside of Len Bias, who never played an NBA game, Thabeet produced the...
Just stop. Clingan is light years better than Thabeet ever was. There's a reason Thabeet absolutely sucked in the NBA, he just wasn't that good. Clingan is a better player in so many ways. Even bringing up Thabeet alongside Okafor and Clingan is laughable. Clingan has National Championships...
My 3 are:
Patrick Ewing, a warrior and I got to see him play in College, as well as the pros.
Wilt, larger than life in both stature and statistics
Kevin Garnett when he was young. Did everything.
