    Because Yinka is no longer with us, but you know he's clogging the lane somewhere up there in the Great Pick-up game in the Sky.

    Pete Maravich and Yinka Dare on the same court. The polar opposites of the concept of passing a basketball.

    Incredible.

    Quite possibly my favorite player of all time. I believe his skills are beyond hall of fame talent, therefore I propose a hall all of his own. I'll donate a dollar in krockets name to start the process :p

    Do we really need to crap on Pgabs thread like this? I didn't think it was that bad.

    Actually he's still in purgatory, battling with Michael and Eko to be the first black guy admitted to the church.

    Especially for a dead guy. Imagine how good the vids would be if he was still alive.

    It took Yinka Dare 4 years to record his 1st career assist. You think they let him into Heaven with a resume like that? Don't think so.
