RIP Sweet Pea

[Chucho]

One of the greatest pound-for-pounders ever. RIP, Pernell.

Shit, I thought it was the other "Sweet Pea" that came to you with Tarkanian back a ways. What the hell was his name, Chooch?

I don't recall, Cubs. I was a wee-lad when Tark came. I remember Lloyd Daniels coming with him and balling out for a little while. Is that who you're talking about?

Yeah that's him. Was my first thought too.

I remember he balled out for a while and then *poof* he was gone. Kinda lumped into the memories of other Spurs rotation players who came in for cups of coffee during that time like Nigel Knight and Trent Tucker.

Both were Sweet pea iirc
But Whittaker was one of the best defensive boxers ever. And was robbed vs. DeLahoya or JCC my memory fails me...

Yep, Lloyd Daniels. He was Tarks pride & joy, but, Media had set their trough against him, & bore down on his peccadillo. He'd done something with his eligibility, or some such trespass, but, Media took a dislike & that was his death knell. Media didn't like Tark either, you know comin' in there like that fresh off the college campus. There was resistance & SAS fired him & it was the end of Sweet Pea.

ADDENDUM:::LOL. & Tark had that habit of sucking on a neatly folded damp towel kneeling on the hardwood. Anyone remember that?

Chavez, like in late 92 or early 93. I remember watching that fight live with the old man and his old man.

Yes...that 90 or so team was one of the best ever. Johnson, Augmon, Anthony, Hunt, Moses Scurry.

Didn't do too well against that automobile though.

Sweet NBA basketball thread.

[Clipper Nation]

Very sad. Dude was insanely gifted, one of the best defensive boxers ever and basically the prototype version of Floyd. And we all know he really won that fight against De La Hoya.

[Chucho]

Sweet NBA basketball thread.

Right? I mean, all we needed was another thread about the same 5-10 players and the same 3-5 teams discussed in this forum. This forum would DIE if we didn't have another one of those...

Ha Max Kellerman and others argue he was robbed in both...

[Chucho]

He was. He was robbed in the Chavez fight because there was no money in Chavez getting 100 W's with an L on the record, so it was declared a draw to reduce the armed robbery charge to grand larceny.
