Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5289783, member: 12414"] I remember one play during his first few games with UConn when he went to the basket and as he was driving put the ball in his right hand like it was a softball as he lifted his arm over his head before he left the floor and kind of did a nerf basketball dunk on a regulation hoop. At that point I knew he was going to be a special player. Yes he was a bit older than most in his class, but he was someone were you could say looked like he was a man playing with boys. He had special physical gifts. But above his physical gifts clearly he was/is a better human being than he was a basketball player. Another great example of what JC was able to accomplish without playing politics. He told kids or young men what reality was and in the end they usually left UConn not only as better ball players but better people. [/QUOTE]
