Why the Ray hate?

No Ray hate. I love the guy. I meant Pitino.

Is that from about 30 years ago? I'm still laughing why that article in the OP was just written.

No idea why the article is getting additional play. You might as well mention the article where Ray was angry at UConn for his treatment during his deposition and he said UConn was treating Ollie poorly and UConn should just pay Ollie to end the embarrassment that the arbitration was causing the school.

Sophomore Ray took it to the hole a lot, was fun to watch his athletic game. Junior Ray took 3s all day and night. I guess when you are that good, then that becomes the plan. And that plan worked out pretty darn well.

Ah the old days of video tapes where you had to turn the ‘tracking’ to make those disruption lines at the top of the screen hopefully go away. Kids will never know the pain of not being able to watch a clean video at all times.

I probably told this story before but I worked at Ray’s Slamma Jamma overnight basketball camp over the summer a couple of years. One time as the head counselor was talking to the kids on the other side of the court, I was standing about 5 feet behind Ray with the other camp counselors as he took shot after shot from out of bounds in the corner. He effortlessly made about 15 in a row before he missed. I don’t remember much about that camp bc I was terribly hungover most days but it really gave perspective on how good NBA players are.
