Ah the memories...as a fellow Ham grad I did my time on the blacktops at Thorndon and Barry Park.  The double metal barred rims and chain nets at Barry really made you earn it.   Having a professor as a parent got me an SU ID somehow, and I loved playing at Archibold and then Flannigan when it was brand new.  Though playing against football players was a more common experience,  I remember somehow being in a game that involved Lukie Jackson and Anthony Harris.  At one point Harris gets a breakaway with just your intrepid narrator as the last line of defense.  This being the Mason/Oakley Knicks era, I get it in my head that the way to play this is not to let him score without "earning" it.  A hard foul ensues and needless to say Anthony was none too pleased about a scrawny white kid giving him the what for.  As my life is flashing before my eyes, none other than Lukie Jackson steps in.  (While giggling the entire time) he tells his AH to call his foul and keep playing.  As memory serves there was no further incident.  But needless to say my impressions of both those guys changed while watching them going forward.  Good times...
