Saw a video on the Raptors Youtube page of Popeye Jones talking about the Air Canada Centre and his short stint playing with the Raptors... What a guy he was! I totally forgot about him! Even though this guy was 6'8, he never dunked in an NBA game! A Dennis Rodman type of guy, not the most gifted basketball player but had the will and tenacity to grab those boards!
Although not with the Raps at the time , he put up numbers like these...
11 pts & 28 rebs (11 orb) vs Pacers
12 pts & 27 rebs vs Clippers
25 pts & 20 rebs vs Celtics
18 pts & 20 rebs (11 orb) vs Sonics
18 pts & 20 rebs vs Suns
16 pts & 20 rebs (11 orb) vs TWolves
11 pts & 21 rebs vs Rockets
11 pts & 22 rebs vs Nuggets
However he did have some 20/20 games with the Raps.
For those who have never heard of the guy, he was around for a couple of seasons, I think back 1996... He's on par with Sam Cassell in regards to looks but was an entertaining guy! Now an assistant coach with the Pacers.
HEY YOU GUYSSSSS!
