Message: [QUOTE="BroadwayVa, post: 2043067, member: 6118"] [B][/B] Not religion of any kind--that's what Geno does with player who have a modicum of talent--Tina was a work in progress for 2 plus year as were many successful players (Gabby??). Although I though UCLA's lew Alcindor was a great a talent as Kareem!! In terms of athletic--and not bulky--Lew Alcindor was very effective--and after he took the hook away from Yale's hook expert Tony LaValli he became effective. The Pro's early teams had smaller pretty mobile centers, for the time, today we'd call them slow. Not so Lew Alcindor --I always how he had the energy to play with 20000 conquests. [/QUOTE]
