Hey! Whatever Happened To Trajan Langdon?

As the March Madness fairy brings lots of games and goodies to sports fans everywhere this week, I’m continuing my quest to remind some of you readers out there of the stars of yesteryear, that may (or may not) have made it to the league.
Everyone knows my disdain for that school in Durham, [...]

March Madness has set upon us (finally), and boy is it a sight for sore eyes. All the conference tourneys are wrapping up and more and more teams are getting their shiny little invites to “the Big Dance”. In the spirit of the season (I’m sending “Happy March Madness” cards to all my [...]
Hey! Whatever Happened To Sean Elliott?
By Brian Taylor
In the early 90’s, the “B.T.” (Before Tim) San Antonio Spurs were more or less recognized by two outstanding players. One was “the Admiral”, David Robinson, and the other was a smooth shooting swingman, one Sean Michael Elliott. Before Duncan took the “big man’s torch” from David, the San Antonio Spurs were always [...]
Hey, Whatever Happened To Tom Chambers?

This past Saturday we all got to enjoy the dunk-tastic stylings of some of today’s high-flyers; New York’s Nate Rob (who would’ve been a basketball legend if he pulled off the blackjack table/playboy dealer dunk), Dwight “Double-Double” Howard, and Gerald Green. In the desert, anything goes, including getting posterized, emasculated and dunked out [...]

“Nineteen Eighty-Niiiiine”
That was the battle cry that year from hip-hop legends Flava Flav and Chuck D. “Fight the Power”, “Do The Right Thing” and Mars Blackmon were in full effect. That year was one of college basketball’s best, with Dikembe and Zo’ being diaper dandies at G-Town, the Rick Fox/J.R. Reid Tar Heels [...]
Hey! Whatever Happened To Xavier McDaniel?

Lately, the Pacific Northwest hasn’t been too kind to NBA basketball. The Portland Trailblazers are trying to buy their own house back, the Sonics may move to the OKC, and fans in Vancouver didn’t know whether to cheer or throw hats onto the floor after someone made three shots.
But back in the day, [...]
Hey! Whatever Happened To Glenn Robinson?

Being a number one, first-overall draft pick carries a lot of heavy expectations, pressure and scrutiny. But in 1994, one Naismith College Player of the Year paid no heed to that, and demanded one of the most ridiculous rookie contracts in the history of sports, and that one audacious guy was Glenn “Big [...]
Hey! Whatever Happened To Dan Majerle?

In the wake of last night’s beatdown at the Verizon Center, where the Phoenix Suns mauled my Wizards, it got me to thinking about who should be my next “Hey!” subject. After watching some more YouTube classics (I was watching the Bulls vs. Suns from 1993), my idea came to mind.
“Thunder” Dan Majerle.
Hey! Whatever Happened To Rolando Blackmon?
By Brian Taylor
With the Dallas Mavericks on their current tear as one of the NBA’s best squads year in and year out, people tend to forget the pre-Cuban days. Of course, folks remember the 11-71 seasons, the Jim Jackson/Jason Kidd/Jamal Mashburn/Toni Braxton experience and the bleakness at Reunion Arena. What a lot of people forget, [...]
Hey! Whatever Happened To Tom Gugliotta?
By Brian Taylor
It was the summer of 1992 in the D.C. area, and I was lucky enough to be one of the kids to attend John Thompson’s annual basketball camp. One day we had a rest period in between practice sessions and we all gathered around the big screen to watch David Stern’s Powerball (a.k.a. [...]
