    The Ehimen thread is legendary. He may also be the best shot blocker we've ever had. In very limited minutes, he put himself in the top 5 or so all time if memory serves.

    Although one wonders if "War and Peace" would have been as highly acclaimed as it was if it was published under its original name "War: What Is It Good For?"

    ”Any news on Orukpe?”

    Yes. He did have hands of stone and could not shoot very well. Free throw shooting was painful to watch. But I tell you this. The other team did not go to the cup when he was in there. LMAO If they did they got their shot blocked or if he fouled you, you knew that you had been hit hard and legal. He was also pretty good on the glass for rebounding. He was tough SOB in the paint. I wish we had more toughness like that for our current team. Go Shocks.

    Not sure about the Y League, but he'd be hard to stop in the Newton or Derby Men's Leagues.

    In case anyone is wondering, Boeheim's Army (Syracuse alumni) won the tournament on Tuesday night. They beat Florida TNT on Sunday and then beat Team 23 on Tuesday night. I didn't watch any of the weekend games other than the AfterShocks on Saturday, but turned on and watched the Elam Ending to the final game. Target score was 69 and Team 23 was up 67-66 and Boeheim's Army made a 3 to win. I guess it was Boeheim's Army 7th time in the tourney.

    BUT...he hasn't been playing, so that's probably not a good fit. I think he lives and works around the Wichita area.

    I'm really surprised he didn't get the 10 sec to shoot violation called frequently.
