    Inspired by the white dunker thread.

    So, his nickname was the kangaroo kid, but I don't I've ever seen footage of him dunking or jumping high.

    Anyone know of any?

    Instead of normal manjunk, he had a pouch. :(

    Seriously, he was one of my favorite coaches back in the day.

    I think his kangaroo ability was relative. It was more of a floor bound game in that day. Do a YouTube search on him and one of the returns is the Top 10 plays from the 1962 All-Star game: lots of layups in those highlights-- not dunks.
