Well, I have it on good authority that Mookie actually hates shooting 3's. He was more of an inside guy in high school...baby hooks, layups, 5 ft. jumpers, that sort of thing. Bernie pulled him aside his freshman year and told him he was now a guard and had to shoot 3's all the time...apparently some sort of practical joke that the coaches do from time to time. So now, everytime Mookie enters a game, Bernie whispers to him as he heads to the scorer's table "you better chuck up a 3 as soon as the ball touches your hands or when you get back to Skytop tonight, your locks will all have been changed." Poor Mookie fell for the whole thing.

But the worst rumor...and this is for the faint of heart only...Rony wasn't even Greek. His real name is Vinnie D'Angelo and he's from Hoboken. Bernie thought it would be a riot to tell him that he'd have a better shot at the NBA if he appeared more exotic. So Vinnie took on the Greek persona and they threw in the Lebanese angle just to confuse him even further. Bernie laughed himself into a hernia over that one.

The worst part is that the joke goes on to this day and Vinne/Rony has never caught on. He takes advice from Bernie constantly. Why else would he have become a club DJ if not for an elaborate prank being played upon him?

Sickening stuff....
