GOD SHAMMGOD:
Right Past You

This clip almost does Shammgod Justice. Did everyone check the new SLAM feature on him? Alan Paul, the writer, lives in china where his wife was transferred to work with the Wall Srteet Journal. He might very well be my favorite hoops writer of all time. Get the new issue with the SUNS trio on the cover.

GOD SHAMMGOD:
HE WILL CRACK YOU

Found this old video of God ShamMgod busting ankles during tournement time. He's been on my mind for a while. Every year around tourney time I think of five guys I totally forget the rest of the year. Shammgod is different though. I remember his moves off the dribble so vividly. My boss, Jermaine Hall, went to high school with Shamm at La Salle for a minute. Alan Paul, big contributor to SLAM over the years, wrote about the former Providence point guard's post-NBA journey for the SLAM website:

Shammgod is overseas now but, he signed with the Portland team in the IBL, a new American pro spring league. Last summer he showed up at KINGDOME and a thick crowd cheered on as the Brooklyn native took few prisoners. He is a full-blown playground legend.
