Manhattan College Men’s basketball has signed a player with only one hand. New York Times has the story.
“He was too good of a player not to get a chance at a college scholarship,” said Fork Union Coach Fletcher Arritt, who has sent more than 150 players to Division I programs. “Kevin has adjusted to having one hand, whether it’s tying a shoe or doing a figure 8 in basketball.”
Game 4 Western Conference Notes:
The Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers last night 120-102 to even the series at two games apiece.
“Great defensive teams communicate.” Said Mark Jackson, ABC analyst.
Phil Jackson called the Nuggets onslaught of rebounding last night, “crash ball”. Denver outrebounded LA 58-40 including 20 offensive boards. I’m sure that has to drive Lakers assistant coach Kurt Rambis crazy. Rambis was known as a solid rebounder during his playing days. Rebounding is all about heart, urgency, hustle, toughness and courage!
“The aggressive get the advantage”, said Jackson.
Chris Anderson of the Nuggets was the main contributer. This guy was all over the place. Anderson brings energy! He reminds me of Dennis Rodman. Kenyon Martin had 15 rebounds, Anderson 14 and Nene 13.
Another player-comparison: Nuggets perimeter player J. R. Smith reminds me of former NBA player John Starks. Both players possess toughness, hustle, energy, courage and a fearless attitude when shooting the ball and attacking the rim.
The Nuggets turned the ball over only 6 times last night.
PLAY THE RIGHT WAY!
