    It's too late. It's over. I searched Youtube for a video and can't find anything, so I'll upload a video of what I just watched.

    Give me a few minutes.

    Dude was a national champion as a kid. Even won a state championship while playing for the Rockets. Rockets fans used to know this. But after he got kicked off the broadcast team, I guess the younger fans weren't exposed to Calvin as much and now don't know these things.

    I remember going to Calvin's basketball camp back when I was in middle school, the same year he was inducted into the HOF. I'm pretty sure I remember him doing a twirling routine for us.

    he taught my cousin to twirl back in the 80's - which is kinda funny since my cousin is a muscled up black dude
