I LOVE the fact that he actually walked instead of just getting it in the mail. To me, this shows how much the actual degree means to him.
+1. That 1990 run left a huge mark on my childhood (well, pre-teen) years. Was an incredible year as we traveled to all the tournament games and stayed at the team hotel. I still remember talking to Kenny Anderson, Dennis Scott, and Brian Oliver, and standing at the breakfast buffet next to James "Mad Dog" Munlyn and having no idea how a person could be that tall. Always respected Dennis Scott for his time at Tech and his career afterwards - glad he went back.I LOVE the fact that he actually walked instead of just getting it in the mail.

Please a quick summary. That podcast is over an hour!Sounds like we now know what happened to cause Abrams to lose his starting spot. Somewhere about two thirds of the way into the interview.

That’s exactly why I listened to the entire interview & you can easily miss it if you don’t listen carefully since only a few minutes of this chat addresses the Tech team and Abram is never mentioned by name. CDS has no issue with players coming at him. Assume he means arguing and disagreeing. But he does not seem to have any tolerance for bad body language. That’s what I observed from Abram watching warmups for the Penn State game. Every member of this team was smiling with great camaraderie except for one unhappy camper. That’s how I read it.Sounds like we now know what happened to cause Abrams to lose his starting spot. Somewhere about two thirds of the way into the interview.
Wasn’t Iverson a top scorer or all NBA or something? I get the loose comparison but Iverson was getting it done in games.Worth the listen. This was like the V106 (or whatever the radio station interview he stated he was turning the program in 180 days). Just some dudes yapping about basketball. Go to about 1:18 to read about what's alluded to. Seems effort in practice wasn't there and someone thought effort in the game was all that matters. Sounds like a little Iverson.
For the idea of selfish players, there are better players than Iverson to use—but Iverson had a rant about it. The details reflect poorly on Iverson and his coach, Larry Brown: http://es.pn/29STwg8. Iverson needed to square his life away, and Brown watched his star player fall apartWasn’t Iverson a top scorer or all NBA or something?

At least that’s my foggy brain damaged memory.
He was notorious for eschewing practice with disdain.Wasn’t Iverson a top scorer or all NBA or something? I get the loose comparison but Iverson was getting it done in games.

I know. Funny as hell press interview about that. But, unlike the player in question, he produced during games.He was notorious for eschewing practice with disdain.
I agree. I was just referring to the part about not going hard in practice. I wasn't comparing his abilities to Iverson's, just the approach to practice.I know. Funny as hell press interview about that. But, unlike the player in question, he produced during games.
