Lasalle Thompson

Just happened to be watching the end of the Charlotte Bobcats game and they interviewed Lasalle who is an assistant coach. One of my all time favorites and wearing a burnt orange shirt.

I'll never forget one encounter I had with LaSalle in the communications building. I got into the elevator and he was already in there. It seemed like I was eye level with his belt buckle. I looked up at him and said, "Hi." He looked down at me and said, "Low."

I always liked LT.

I lived in Jester (West) freshman year and remember seeing LaSalle hang in the lobby on more than one occassion looking to bait someone into a pick-up game. A 6'10" guy doesn't blend in to the anonymous student body very well.

I was playing some pickup hoops in Gregory and Thompson sits down on the baseline like he's waiting to get into the next game. I'm 6'0" and think "I'm not sure I want to win this game. I sure the hell don't want to cover him in the next one."

Still sucks how Wacker got hurt and we tanked the rest of the season.

Yeah, I remember when Akeem came in talking smack in 81 or so, and LaSalle destroyed him. Of course, I was was a Rocket's fan, so when they drafted Akeem, I became huge fan

OT: Is LaSalle the horn that played the longest in the NBA? I can't think of one that played longer.
