Grandmama 🔥🔥🔥 LJ was nasty asl when your stocky with Muscle and quickness and athleticism equipped with a point forward Game sheesh! If Larry never got that back injury definitely HOF.
🚨 FUN FACTS ALERT! 🚨 1. LJ was the 1st person to ever win a version of National Player Of The Year in high school, junior college, and NCAA Division 1 2. LJ is the first - and to date, only - player to win the NJCAA national player of the year award twice. 3. Some observers felt that he could’ve been a 1st round pice (maybe even lotto pick) if he’d have entered the 1989 NBA draft straight from Odessa JC.
Duke beating them in 1991 is still one of the all time greatest upsets I've ever seen. Even though they lost they'll always be one of the best college teams ever.
When JC players join a D1 team there's usually an adjustment period before they hit their stride. LJ was in perfect sync with his Rebel teammates right from the very start. It was a natural fit. I can't imagine LJ wearing any other college jersey.
All time favorite college basketball player. #1 player in his recruiting class before he went the juco route. People forget that he was an unusual recruit for Tark. Tark only had 3 McDonald's AA's at his time in Vegas. Larry was one of the three.
What would have been and what could have been if UNLV would have beaten Duke in two straight years with that Running Rebels team as just about all their players were highly athletic.
Absolutely.....Tarks 90-91 UNLV "Runnin Rebel" teams are one of the greatest teams in college basketball history. Beating Duke by 30 in the National Championship has never been matched.
Those 90/91 UNLV would run the fab5 out of the gym. Look what they did to Duke in the title game and you may not recall they embarrassed Arkansas who was LOADED back then, and that was in Fayetteville. Larry Johnson famously told Nolan Richardson ‘you need to get you some MEN for this game’.
LJ would have chewed up ZION and spit him out !!! A whole nother Stratosphere of Athlete. Unlike anything before and any Cosmic since. All Jerry Garcia and Grateful enthusiasts join me in making One Giant L J gesture! Gracious L J Signed Bill Walton.......YYYYyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh P.S in 1999 The Knicks L.J Alan Houston Charles Oakley Anthony Mason Gerald Wilkins or Henderson i wow o forget aahhh who cares...........THE GREAT STARTING 5 Ever in Knickland....Sorry Walt and Clyde....but a "Healthy" LJ was the Renardo Sydney'''''The Difference" Big Red
