I've shared this before but ...after I graduated in 1986 I came back home hung out a lot on the hill with my buddies still in school or grad school etc.  Ended up playing a lot of pickup games at Archbold against several SU players and local HS players in the summer/fall of 87.  Sherm, Herm, Derek Brower and Matt Roe were regulars.  Any way one time we're playing and I end up between the basket and Sherm at the free throw line, somehow I ended up on my butt under the basket as Sherm bounced an alley oop off the backboard to someone.  Funny thing about Sherm is he rarely shot the ball in pickup games.  He could completely dominate the game without ever taking a shot.  I got to play with him once and was happy to say I never caught one off the back of my head as was known to happen to pickup teammates of his! Matt Roe never missed a shot and Herm was a knockdown shooter as well.

Another quick story on football side...When I was 12 I lived in Tacoma WA and the guy staying with my best friend's neighbor (follow that?) asked my buddy and I if we wanted to go down to the park and catch some footballs.   Ended up catching passes for a couple hours.  Afterward as we're walking home the guy tells us he's trying out for the new NFL team in Seattle.  Jim Zorn ended up the Seahawks QB the next 7 years and my buddy went to several games on his tix.  I fortunately moved to Syracuse later that summer so I was able to witness the Louie and Bouie Show from the beginning and unknown to me at the time, the first game in Jim Boeheim's coaching career.
