    As I recall that was a Senior League game during the summer made up of players from Central Catholic vs Wilson. I grew up in NE Portland (In the Grant area) playing against guys like Darryl Motley.

    That's a rep. "You're not worth my time, but I'll concoct some silly abbreviation just to let you know you're not worth my time." Of the two posters to do this in the thread, one runs the place and the other is a board mod.

    I am. Great memories of all the pick up games. (Daily)

    Graduated from Highschool in 77'. A pretty good year for High School Hoops in Oregon. (Radford, Blume, Ainge, Stoutt) As I recall 4 undefeated teams going into the playoffs that year in Memorial Colisium. What a tounament that was.

    Not a bad year for the NBA in Portland either.

    No. I went to Central Catholic. But all my friends (and girl friends) went to Grant.

    I disagree that Wes can't be a backup (or even starting) 3. He's a bit like Batum in that he's going to play D on the best 1, 2, or 3 of the other team, and going to be a wing shooter on offense. He's already proven (in the playoffs!) that he can pull both of those off.

    Between Roy, Batum and Wesley I'm not worried about the 3. Even Babbitt could play backup there if needed, though he'd get torched on D. Or we could run small if we needed to.

    My dad told me Motley was the best athlete he ever saw, said he could have gone pro in football too. Motley still played Independent League ball well into his 40's in Montana I think.

    The first time I encountered Motley was in a grade school basketball game. I want to say he was playing for Alameda. He was around 11 or 12. Looked like a bowling ball. Short and solid. It took me about 20 seconds to figure out I was going to get embarrassed all night. He was a freaking "blur" even at that age.

    This thread has gone to full-fledge OT! Awesome!

    This one time, at band camp, back before most of you were born, there was this camp counselor, she was hot...and we were hiking up in the hills, and it started to rain, and the rain was cold, and her shirt was white, and it was like we had x-ray vision....just like Superman! It was awesome!
