Message: [QUOTE="cliftonparksufan, post: 2985126, member: 9"] Not a game that I played in but when I was a kid, I used to hang out at Hoffman Park in Albany where they would have some pretty good games in summer. I ended up helping keep the scorebook and giving out uniforms and stuff like that. One night Ticky Burden showed up. This was right after his first season with the Knicks. Of course word got out so there were quite a few people watching. Charlie Leigh matched up with him on the other team. If you don't know the name, Leigh was a kick returner for the undefeated Dolphins team and a pretty good hoopster as well. This night was a bit windy and Ticky couldn't make a shot but Charlie was dialed in from way downtown and scored something like 30 and his team won easily. Ticky was a legend but never known for his defense and it was the only time I ever saw him play in person. [/QUOTE]
