I was the only Nets fan I knew growing up in southwest Connecticut in the 80s. Red Sox, Jets, Nets. I mostly wore a paper bag to school.

You went to school with Lo-rilla (and, presumably, Co-rilla)?!?

A key piece of info would be how tall you are. I’m interested to know how tall the author of perhaps the most famous dunk in NCAA history really is, but without that key comparative height I’m still in the dark.

I’m enjoying the series.

I went to NC State when Lorenzo Charles was there. He was allegedly 6’7 but he was just an inch or two bigger than me. But whatever they list Gminiski at, he’s that tall. Easily the tallest guy I’ve ever stood next to and that’s with him kind of stooping over.

Anyway, Gminiski is now a college basketball analyst and a pretty good one, too.

Look how you the G-man is in this Photo. Wow, I forgot he was ever this young. To me Gminski always had that beard.

The sad thing about the current Nets is that it didn’t have to happen this way. Bruce Ratner screwed the team right when they were starting to build some huge fan support. But he wanted his Brooklyn deal so there you go. What’s really crazy about their current situtation is the best case scenario for them to ready to play in Brooklyn would be the the 2012-2013 season. So they still have 2 1/2 years left in Limbo.

I think originally they were suppose to be in Brooklyn for the 2007-2008 season.
