Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 2325730, member: 7171"] Marvin Barnes was quite a character. He starred at Providence with Ernie D in the early/mid seventies and later played in the ABA and NBA, most notably with the Spirits of Saint Louis. One story has him showing up for a Spirits game shortly before gametime with his uniform on under a big fur coat, discarding the coat on the bench and walking out on the court for the tipoff. The ABA back then was kind of nutty like that, but that league had some incredible talent. He did a lot of bad things, like attack one of his Providence teammates with a tire iron. While at Central High in Providence, he was part of a gang that attempted to rob a bus. Only problem for Marvin, he was wearing his State Championship jacket with his name embroidered on it. Yep, you can`t fix stupid. [/QUOTE]
