I remember when GG got drafted, out of Ol’ Miss. This was before the internet and draft boards etc … I live in Australia and the NBA had very little coverage … GG was described as “A Mark Aguire Clone, able to bull down low and bomb from outside”. So I was looking forward to the GG era, even before he got to Detroit. Now i dont know who wrote the “scouting report” on GG, but i never saw Aguire throw one down quite like the alley-oop in this article!

Thanks for the video Patrick. Zeke is my favorite basketball player of all time. I hate it that he gets such a bad rap despite all of his accomplishments, seems like the media like to focus on the blemishes of his career off of the court. This play was and still is very memorable. Appreciate the nostalgia, and great memories. I actually remember watching this game live as a young boy and was fascinated by that play!

Yeah, I was a big Woolridge fan too. He’ll be profiled in this series at some point this week or next.

Thanks. Its stuff like this that reminds us why we [used to] love Isiah so much. Funny, I don’t remember Randall at all. But I do remember loving Woolridge. I don’t know if it was his glasses or what (I was a kid).
