A guy came into work to get some tires put on his truck and he looked really familiar. I kept thinking, man I know this guy from somewhere. As I was working with him I kept trying to figure it out. I asked him if I knew him from somewhere and he said "No, I don't know you from anywhere". I took his driver's licence to process the sale and I recognized the name as a guy who used to play for the Cavaliers in the early nineties. At 6'6" he kind of stood out. I ended up giving he and his daughter a ride home while we worked on his truck and I got a chance to talk to him about it. I asked him if he played pro ball and he said "Yeah". I asked him if he didn't like to talk about it and he said "It doesn't bother me. You asked me if I knew you and I prefer to let other people figure out if they know who I am or not. I don't like to brag about being a pro athlete." It was cool because we talked about those teams that I lived and died with back at that time. About what it was like to play against Michael Jordan. I knew he went to Purdue and so I asked him about playing against Jimmy Jackson and he said he played against Calbert Chaney too. I got some insight on what some of those guys were like as people too. He only played a year or so in the NBA and then went overseas to play. He has played in France, and several other places. He playes in Greece last year. He has a really nice guy and very humble too.
