    I had only known him as Escalade. I didn't realize he was a legit college basketball player at that size.

    Saw them mention this last night on the TNT All-Star broadcast. I can't say I was really surprised because I never knew how he lasted as long as he did at that weight doing the stuff he did. For those of you who saw him on the And1 tour, he was even bigger in high school... a lot bigger. He was pushing over 400-500 pounds from what I remember reading.

    There's a difference between insensitive and matter of fact. To me, it was the latter.
