HOOK PLUG:
"Hook" Mitchell.
At work this morning I decided to throw in the HOOKED DVD, about the legendary California-bred highriser who was said to have been better than all of his Oakland peers, including Gary Payton, Brian Shaw, Antonio Davis, Brian Shaw and Jeff Foster. His career, ending at a Contra Costa (CA) Community College was totally derailed by drugs. He endured years of highs, lows and prison stints while wasting away what everyone thought was can't miss NBA talent. Even at 5-foot-9 he was one of the best leapers the game of basketball has ever seen. Anybody who really likes basketball should see the DVD.
*P.S. I'm working on an essay on the basketball asthetic. Hold on to your seats!
