Twitter is all over last years Duke team for not winning the title with the best two players in last years draft. I can’t imagine being a Duke fan right now.

Where’s @cliffspliffy when you need someone to set the record straight.

I saw the article this morning and had to look Cliff up and realized it was not our guy. I didn't think he was that young when he entered the NBA or ever scored that many points in a game regardless his age. I wondered at that time if someone was going to post it on the the Yard thinking it was our Mr. Robinson.

Im pretty sure our Cliff did toss in over 40 at least once in his career. I was very good friends w him in school, used to get his tix for home games.

The stories I could tell…..

Give us one. I loved Cliff when I was a kid. Had his 00 jersey that I bought at a game before buying jerseys was a thing. It was basically a white Fruit of the Loom cotton tank top with “Connecticut” and 00 on the front.

We were playing nerf hoop in my dorm room one night and let’s just say there may have been foreign substances involved. Watching Oklahoma play Kansas, this was his Junior year I believe.

He starts telling us “Wayman Tisdale, he doo-doo. Danny Manning?? Doo-doo. Im going HARDSHIP.

Now mind you, back then very few players left early and those two were the best two players in CBB. We cracked in him so bad, telling him he sucked, not even the best player in the BE, he had no chance to go hardship, etc.

It was hilarious. Phil Gamble was with us and he was on the floor laughing. They were great dudes to hang with, except Cliff would snap every once in a while.

You are very right about that, as pointed out from what I found when looking up his single game high score:

"UConn legend and 18-year NBA veteran Clifford Robinson scored a career-high 50 points on January 16, 2000, while playing for the Phoenix Suns against the Denver Nuggets. At age 33, he was the oldest player at the time to record his first 50-point game."

I was clearly wrong and completely forgot that he had a long and quite successful NBA career. Definitely one that many of us have overlookded.

Cool to hear you were really good friends back when you were in school together.
