Me and you both! Back in HS I perfected his spin move and his double pump shots in the key! I actually have an authentic Hardwood Classic Earl Monroe NY Knick jersey (couldn’t find a Bullet one) in a frame hanging in my guest bed roomMy favorite all-time guard makes the 75. Earl Monroe. I patterned my half court game on the Pearl. He and Gus Johnson were highlight reel players on a normally mediocre Bullets team. Pettit and Arizen were from retired before I knew what a basketball was. Weird to see those one handers going up, I guess things change a little over 75 years.
That was in 52, half the league probably served in the Pacific, had to be alot of strange looks at an award named after Japanese beef.I think it's pretty cool that he won the Kobe Bryant NBA All Star Game Award back in 1952.
I have know idea how the NBA knew to give that award Kobe's monicker back in 1952.
Back in the day Walt Frazier (who was one best defenders of his time) said “God can’t go one on on with Earl Monroe”Who are any of these people? I think you guys are making these dudes up
I dunno. God does have a good signature move but he never lasted in the NBA. If these fake dudes are as good as you say, they could beat God ShamgodBack in the day Walt Frazier (who was one best defenders of his time) said “God can’t go one on on with Earl Monroe”
the problem with Samgodis…..back in the day he wouldn’t even make an NBA roster.
Clip in 1952: High level basketballFinally !!! Here’s a little blurb from Bob Pettit on Paul Arizin.
Just what we all suspected… A bucket!
