Mr. Billy Ray Bates is Alive and Well
Shaq and Charles Barkley Disagree on His Fate
If you’ve ever seen Mr. Bill Ray Bates play basketball, you probably remember it. I first saw him as a forward with the Kentucky State University (KSU) basketball team, playing against Tennessee State University (TSU) at Kean Hall in Nashville. I was a basketball player at Fisk University, a mile away. We had no game one night, so my teammates and I decided to watch their game as a group.
