Warren (Armstrong) Jabali was another Shocker player picked by the New York Knicks. However, he never signed with the Knicks, instead signing with the Oakland Oaks of the ABA.

Swahili meaning "The Rock" not Muslim; I was an undergraduate during Warren's Sophomore-Senior seasons which gave me the privilege of watching him play in person. IMO after Stallworth, Jabari was the best player on the Shocker rosters during the 1960's.Originally posted by Aargh View Post
Warren was always problematic - he had difficulty with Lucious Allen in high school and was outspoken regards civil rights activities. He did not hold Gary Thompson in high regard but then who did? This reputation resulted in the NBA not holding Warren in high regard so he went to the ABA and became Rookie of The Year. Rick Barry was his teammate and publicly recognized Warren as a superior professional basketball player.Comment

not sure why everyone is so scared of the “muslims”.. i’m more scared of the occupiers and goldman sachs government infiltrators .. the israelites. at any rate, maybe he is in the first generation of the kaepernicks.
i’m not old enough to have seen it firsthand, but it was the 60s and hostilities were high. being good friends with a prominent player from the 70s that was close to warren, it seems as if most whites wanted the brothas to shut up and play/entertain. wichita state was no different.Comment

“The Israelites”
Oh my. There was certainly a correlation between the black power movement and the Muslim conversion. It was all an off shoot of civil rights and they were radical at the time.Livin the dreamComment

Which roster are we talking about here. Some one can start a new thread to continue this riveting conversation of the past. See if this topic can stay in the presentComment

Just caught this interesting tidbit on the goshockers roster page. Not sure if I missed it, but Tyson has some real pedigree:
Born Sept. 17, 1999… Son of Max Etienne and Anita Gibson… Mother is an Emmy nominated makeup artist… Father played two seasons at Maryland (1988-90)…. Nephew of former UMass star and 17-year NBA veteran Marcus Camby… Nephew of award-winning actor Omari Hardwick… Cousin of NBA standout DeAndre Jordan…Livin the dreamComment

Just a roster update.
The Shocker roster weights, which were first edited in August, have been updated again. All of the returners and 2 freshmen are now within 5 lbs of their target weights (as laid out by Kerry in an article this summer). The remaining three players are all within 10 lbs of their target.
Kerry is the best.
(Parenthetical indicates difference from target weight.)

But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”

Was he weighed with the boot and crutches?Originally posted by RoyalShock View Post"I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet. I like to win more than 99.9% of the people in this world, but he may top me." -- Gregg Marshall 12/23/13 :peaceful:
