I grew up in Queens, NY. Although my friends that were into college basketball were St. John's fans I took a different path, thanks to this guy's exciting play (no, not Macon, Bird, nor Admiral). BTW, I had a copy at one time of this issue, which hyped up Sherm pretty well from what I remembered. Scroll down to see the rest...

Being short in stature, and not yet very good at basketball, I admired Sherm not only because he proved the "little guy" could do it on a high level, but it was his alley oops, shovel passes, effortless ways to excite the crowd while making his teammates better. Over the years, some favorites were John Wallace (game changer, I didn't think he'd miss from anywhere on the court), Sherm, Lawrence Moten (high socks, gotta love it, great scorer), Etan (probably my fave defensive player), Flynn, GMac, Wes, Rick Jackson, Carmelo and most recently would have to be Dion and MCW.
 
I talk up Cuse all the time to my wife and son, and although I am sure they're less enamored as I am, I am pleased to say we will be at MSG to watch them beat Temple for JB's 101st. I don't know what it is, but even though I didn't go to Cuse, they are by far my favorite sports team of all time. I too won my first March Madness pool in 2003 since I picked Cuse to win it all. I have probably lost a few due to this strategy too, but knowing these great teams over the years, I would pick them every time.
