A throwback....July 1997

Just for a change of pace, here is one of the biggest fan favorites at the time, the ball boy from Sacramento who worked his way to starting center for the Kings. Who remembers HIS leaps getting his forehead at the rim? A shot blocker (led the league!!) and rebounder with a few points. Yogi pushed "OP Sucks" out as a starter then got this huge contract after 2 years with the Raptors and disappeared.

Note: date in header should be November 1997

I remember bumping into Yogi at the Comcast cable office on Pell Drive in Sacramento. He was coming in to pay a late late late bill and his service was shut off. I was in exchanging my cable box or something. This was just after he signed with Toronto and I mean it might have been that same day or the next. He actually told me he signed with Toronto for like two years two million or something. So I found out he was going to Toronto from him before I even heard it in the news. I don't think anyone really knew who he was in there except for me. The girl at the Comcast counter asked me who he was.
 
Still remember that game when he swatted shot after shot after shot...it was against the Clippers, I think?
Yeah, it was against the Clip Joint...Yogi would have had a decent career had he not gotten injured...but he got paid by Toronto before that, so good for him.:D
