watching suggs last second shot as i was watching on tv bought back a memory i told here before but it wasn't a glass swish like i thought at first. i immediately went to my facebook message and sent a message to leon chesire .
it was 1995 or 1996 we are playing our Catholic hs rival team in our conference at there gym . they are 11-0 in their gym and something like 33-0 at home the past 3 years .. with 6 seconds left i'm down 2 points with the ball under the others teams basket.. i have 90 feet to go.. but the clock never stopped after my time out of course the home team scorer keepers let the clock run out the refs went over to the score table and put 6 seconds on the clock ,, at least 10 seconds should of been put back as i was arguing with the refs and table i could hear my opposing coach say '' i want 2 guys doubling leon ' i was pretending to still argue the clock but my ears where now trying to listen the other coach .. the scorers table is right next to the table there was no way i was going to get 10 seconds back on the clock but i always practiced last second plays thank you al mcguire and hubie brown .. those 100 of basketball clinics paid off.
i had leon take the ball out .. he was 6'5 gd who was a deadly shooter and an arch on his shot that made a reggie miller arch look normal . leon in practice would always shoot half court shots and hit maybe 3 out of 10 he would aim for the box behind the rim .. anyway he passes it in and my gd flips the ball to him at the ft line leon takes one or two steps and maybe a few feet before halfcourt line shoots .. everyone in the gym thinks his shot is going over the basket onto the stage .. but i kinda step on the court to see if its on line it is ,, the buzzer goes off as the ball hits the box and swishes in glass swish game over we win gotta runn back later
