Hall Of Fame

Postby Kevin Reilly » Mon Oct 07, 2024 6:50 pm

Congrats to the A-Train and Crawford. Crawford could score with the best of them and the Williams could jump better than any Big guy we ever had. Nobody could throw it down like him. Basketball Jones was a very close second. I tied to find a Xavier basketball list for Hall Of Fame players but couldn't find one. Sato and Derick Strong belong for sure

I remember sitting with A-train's Mom and brother when X played GT in the NCAA tourney. His reverse slam and his mother apologizing every time she cursed out the referee will always be great memories. And, of course, the X win
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Muskieman hope you are well. I saw the A-Train out here in California When Xavier played in a four team Christmas tournament at The University of San Francisco .Aaron was a freshman on a team with Strong and Hill. We had tickets at courtside. A-train got in in the second half and threw down a dunk that was by far the best I have ever seen live. I had my two sons with me and the three of us jumped out of our seats at the same time. He easily was a couple feet above the rim. Everybody in the gym was shocked. I had no idea who he was. To see the dunk at floor level was unreal. For a quiet, kind of laidback looking guy it was wild.
