6-9 forward Lee Nailon is from South Bend, IN and went on to play basketball at Texas Christian University where he straight balled. I wouldn't say he balled SO hard, but one might say he balled EXTREMELY hard. To answer your next question no he was not on the "Glory Road" team, glad we got that out of the way. Nailon joined TCU in 1997 and became the go-to-guy as a Freshman. In 33. 3 mpg he scored 2 ...

Once upon time Auburn basketball actually made some noise, thanks to Chris Porter and his afro in the '99 and '00 seasons. Porter was born in Abbeville, Alabama and after bama high school he went to play ball at JUCO where he was an All-American. He immediately earned the opportunity to be a War Eagle in 1998. In his first year (Junior), the 6-7 forward averaged 16 ppg along with 8.6 rpg and 2.1 spg in 28.7 ...

  Nikoloz Tskitishvili is a former NBA 7 foot bust from Georgia (not the one next to Alabama). At the age ripe age of 18 Tskitishvili played professionally for Benetton Treviso in Italy. Showing more promise than the Jonas Brothers’ rings, he averaged 6.2 ppg in just 12 mpg. He was young, showed unreal potential, and the NBA scouts were banking on his results.  The dude was supposed to be the Georgian ...

To answer your first question, Trung is actually his real name, and no it's not short for anything (I originally thought it might have been a sick nickname for Theodore). Canidate is from Phoenix, Arizona, and consequently became an Arizona Wildcat. In his freshman year he had 138 rushes for for 804 yards and 4 TDs. One of his touchdowns was a career long 96 yards, he was a quick little guy I tell ya. His S ...

  Prosper Karangwa is ex-Siena basketball stud from the early 2000’s. Prosper and his name were way ahead of his time, he should be on the St. John’s team right now with God’s Gift Achiuwa and Sir’Dominic Pointer. Prosper at 6-7 played shooting guard, and gradually improved every season. His Freshman year he only played in 8.7 mpg but averaged 4 points a game with a 3PT% of 45.2 (career high). The next ...

Erubiel Durazo is from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. Durazo acutally means power in the Spanish language, that's a lie, but it should be. At one point Erubiel Durazo was our favorite left handed pinch hitter after Dave Hansen as we saw him drop bombs in Arizona and Oakland. In 1999 the first baseman signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He hit over 20+ homeruns and had a Ted Williams-esq batting average of .4 ...
