lol. I remember him. He was a hell of a basketball player coming out of Kentucky, but his cousin (or was he his brother? I forget...), Frank, who played for the Browns in the NFL, was the more well-known at the professional level. He worked with John Lucas for a while after admitting to pot smoking and cocaine use I think during his college and possibly pro years. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Yz9oTxfUg5k&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Yz9oTxfUg5k&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
I just looked Dirk up... in 1986 the Rockets apparently gave up a 1989 2nd round pick to Cleveland to get Dirk. Cleveland used that pick to draft Chucky Brown who of course eventually became a Rockets legend.
