He made the greatest shot I've ever seen. Playoffs, came off the bench with 5 seconds left. Everybody knew Portland would try to get him the ball. He caught the inbounds pass off a screen running left. Drove straight toward the baseline then spun 90 degrees a launched a 3 pointer right before the buzzer that swished. How could you not be a fan after that? (Besides, I was growing up in Mound, Minnesota. We didn't have a pro-team then).
My final high school basketball game was a loss to Mound in the District Finals. I had scored 34 pts the previous game against Mpls. Vocational and was seemingly triple-teamed every time I touched the ball. I ended up with 15 pts and 26 rebounds in a loss. Williams Arena hosted the state championships and I came wearing my Marshall-U high letter jacket. Some Mounds fans recognized me and gave me a standing ovation. That was the classiest thing I ever saw from another school.
My grandma was in love with Billy, she yelled so much at her TV once,her dentures fell on the living room rug. She was a big Portland Trailblazer fan. Thank you, Mr Spivey, for sharing, and will reStack ASAP 💯👍
