Okay, if those a too tough, here's an easy one...
In the movie "Glory Road" which player portrayed in it is now in San Antonio at UTSA?
In the current movie "Glory Road", can you name a player portrayed in it who ended up playing for the San Antonio Spurs?
Bonus: Can you name a player who was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys?

I know the answer to this one. I'll let someone else answer
I haven't seen the movie yet but I'll guess that Texas Western played against Nick Van Exel and the Cincinnati Bearcats.
NVE is too young to have played against any of those players.I know the answer to this one. I'll let someone else answer

Louie Dampier.
Bearcats = Wildcats
I know the answer as well. Graduated from UTSA. Even played a little ball, way back when, with the guy. Didn't know anything about his history then tho. , didn't know it untill they honored him at a Spurs game recently.
ShoogarBear got the first one correct!!! Louie Dampier played for the University of Kentucky in the NCAA Finals game vs. Texas Western. Louie played all 9 seasons the ABA existed for the Kentucky Colonels and 3 in the NBA (1976-79) with the Spurs.
Additional question: name another person in the movie currently active in the NBA.
pat riley

I got lost lookin' for Glory Road.
I just told Condi to turn back and
drive me back to the White House.
My name is George W Bush and I approve this message.
Does anyone know the answer to this question?
Pat Riley, right? I'm pretty sure he played football at Kentucky.
He didn't play football, but the NFL draft used to go so deep they'd run out of prospects to draft. Pat's brother played in the NFL so they figured it was worth a shot.
Correct, Pat Riley didn't even play football in college but he was such a terrific athlete, the Cowboys drafted him in the 11th round in 1967.
Gil Brandt of the Cowboys liked to do that. Cornell Green, Peter Gent and Rayfield Wright were basketball athletes. Cornell Green didn't even know how to put on the pads correctly and he ended up All Pro several years.
Rayfield actually thought he had gotten a basketball scholarship to college, but he did play football as well. He was a safety.
I did not know that. Good stuff!
Hmmm. You guys are probably right, but I thought that he was recruited out of high school to go to 'Bama originally, where former UK football coach Bear Bryant was only going to allow him to play football. Adolph Rupp, who hated Bryant from their time together at UK, allowed Riley to play both and that's why he went to school at Kentucky.
Anyone else heard this before? Just curious.
I had read about Bear Bryant recruiting him, but I didn't think he played UK Football. It's worth checking out.
Interesting. I did some investigation. There may be a better source of info, but NBA.com says that he didn't play football at UK.

A gifted athlete, he was an 11th round-draft choice of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys in 1967 although he never played college football. His brother, Lee, played defensive back for the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, and New York Giants of the NFL (1955-60) and for the New York ans of the American Football League (1961-62). His father, Leon, was a major league catcher/outfielder with Philadelphia in 1944 and became a minor league manager in the Phillies’ organization.
