Josh Pace on Sportscenter

[shandeezy7]

Watching sportscenter this morning and randomly hear Josh Pace's name. Look up and sure enough there he is. Some weird lead-in to the NBA playoffs talking about playing for the love of the game and how Josh was MVP of the ABA. Pretty cool, and even got a Syracuse mention in.

That 2005 senior class of Warrick/Pace/Forth has to be the classiest in SU history. Three gentlemen who represented the University extremely well (and won us a title in the process).

Indeed. I'm also having crazy déjà vu right now

Thought I should clarify that Josh was not on sportscenter in person, just a picture of him. Still cool though!

What is the ABA?

American Bar Association. Joshua Pace, Esq.

Pace played some huge minutes in the NCG...him and Edelin almost single handedly kept us ahead in the second half.

Josh is a true basketball vagabond. He has played in at least 2 of the 4 corners of the world (Finland and New Zealand). He has always been good and sometimes dominating in the various leagues he has played in. I wonder how much he has earned in his 10 year pro career? He doesn't seem to have played in any of the high paying foreign leagues, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear that some of his paychecks have bounced over the years. But he has earned a living and seen the world as a professional basketball player. I think that's a pretty cool way to have spent your first decade out of school.

Great positive Bilas comment on Josh during his playing days, not verbatim but close...
When he is 50 years old and playing at the Y he will have the same game.

they just couldn't stop the lefty floater.

i'm trying to remember better but did josh sort of break out in that tournament or was he a bigger player in the regular season than i can recall?

Amen to that. So many people hate their jobs...making a living doing something you love is the name of the game.

One of my favorite players here.

If I remember right , when Billy came back, midseasonish, Josh even drifted into DNP-land. So he just started "making plays" and important ones, and his minutes rose, I believe at the expense of Kueth Duany.

It's a joke of league. I'm guessing most of their wins were Friday forfeits

American Bowling Association. Pace rolls one hell of a hook.

Anonymous Basketball Ass'n.

 

[CaptainJ]

One of my all time favorites too. JB said he was his most underrated player ever.

I'm not sure, but apparently they know how to pick up the Pace, so they've done right by me.

If you wanted to speed it up then you needed to pick up the Pace!
