Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 1742978, member: 405"] I remember one time Al McGuire called one of our games, I'm pretty sure it was Pearl's freshman year and the first time Al was seeing him live, and I vividly remember Al falling all over himself with the compliments for Pearl's game. At one point, he called Pearl an "aircraft carrier". The thing I remember most about him was his ability to drive through people in the open court. He was like a shark in the water; people talk about his "high dribble", but to my eyes he had a very low center of gravity and a forward lean like he was a shark moving through the water, fast and efficient. Watching some of these old clips has been wonderful. The way he just sliced through and found space between defenders was magical. [/QUOTE]
