I don't know how I overlooked this, but this is an interesting find. Shocking that some of these guys are still playing.

cool article, thanks!

did anyone read lance's 2 books he wrote about his life and basketball? they were interesting books.

I read both of Allred's books, they are worthwhile for anyone that is a basketball fan or lives in the Mountain region of the US. It sure changed my view of Majerus; at least from Allred's perspective, Majerus was a jerk, using his deafness as a point of ridicule when he played for the coach.

The experiences playing in Europe ( in the second book) were really interesting, especially the one about getting paid for the entire season in cash in a public market....! I won't give any other details, but sounds like the return to the living space was like the Great Race.
