Travel to Harrisonburg, Virginia to check in with one of college basketball's all-time greats, Ralph Sampson. Visit with family and friends to find out how he became a three-time National Player of the Year. In an exclusive sit-down
Thx for bringing me back to a Great Time in my life, when it was simple Sports Family, Friends.!,Always loved Ralph,wished he played longer. Still making impacts and memories for kids, adults, Fans...Thx Ralph
I was born in 1980 and grown up in Poland. I only heard about Twin Towers from Huston. Thanks to RU-vid I watched few games of them. Oh my! They were so good! Rockets would certainly dominate in the NBA with them
from Houston: Ralph is still loved in Houston. Winning that 1983 coin flip was very exciting for the city of Houston. Ralph, you are always welcomed in Houston. Wish you would come back more often. MLL
mlzrn I agree w/u 💯. True H-Town sports fans will NEVER forget that last second shot Sampson made to dethrone the defending champion Lakers in the 86 Western Conference Finals...🏀
One of 2 pros I played against in high school ( Dell Curry the other ). Class act and genuinely nice guy. If not for knee injuries he would've dominated the NBA as well
NBA rookie of the year, All star mvp and made the game winning buzzer beater to eliminate the Lakers in the western conference finals that put his team in the NBA finals against the Celtics in 1986.Sampson was on his way to greatness in the NBA!
No mention of his NBA career? Also I'm sure he did have regrets since him playing through injury and not getting it properly treated is what derailed his NBA career
His fundamentals were excellent, and he was all about the team. A Player of the Year three seasons running has plenty of chances to leave early, but Sampson never did. You can argue that he shouldn't have indulged his midrange skills so much, but he worked hard to add muscle and his body was simply too spindly to take a pounding down low.
