    I know that - just love the quote and thought it fit in the context of this thread.

    Yeah I kinda feel you on that one. Love that Earl Tatum story. Heard it before but it is always good for a laugh.
    I recall a former Knicks GM telling me this one about Patrick Ewing. "They call him Beast. How can you call anyone who is a friend of yours Beast?"

    Because of Earl Tatum and Bernard Toone who later followed Tatum , McGuire said that he would never recruit another kid from Westchester again.

    Toone btw ended up in jail on a car theft rap.

    I didn't know that. Covered Looney Toone during his stint with the Sixers.
