I remember the first time he touched the ball. I was guarding him outside to the right of the key. He was probably out around 23 ft. or so - maybe farther out. The scouting report was that he couldn't shoot from the outside so I gave him a lot of room. He had about 5" or 6" inches on me. I watched him catch the ball with his back sort of to the basket, turn and hit a jumper from out there. It was a clean nothing but net shot. So much for the scouting report. I think he ended up with about 25 points that night hitting from all over the court. He was a terrific high school basketball player and a pretty good college player as well.
RIP Stan.
