Ill never forget the kid from Grundy Center throwing one down on us in 7th grade.
I think I could almost touch the net then.
I played jr. high basketball with former Cyclone football player Tony Booth. I'm pretty sure he could dunk in 7th grade but I don't think he ever got the chance in a game.Quote:

Wow! Seems athletic at 6'3" too. I figured a kid that grew that fast would be as goofy as it gets.
I assume you graduated sometime around 2000? He could dunk better in junior high than he could in high school. Let early success get to his head a little bit. I was a year older than him and played high school bball with him, he was a good player but could have been so much better if he had worked hard. Where did you go to school?Quote:

With the size of the other kids in that video, I was picturing Charlie from Always Sunny the entire time. I am pretty sure the chubby kid was wearing steel toed boots and another kid had a safety pin in his wrist band.
When I was in 7th grade I might have been 5'
Get Hoiberg on the phone :smile:
I wasn't even that..hahaQuote:
