Growing up as a fan of the NBA, I was exposed to my share of Charlotte Hornets games, as they were a young team with a lot of young talent. This mid 90′s version of the Hornets were led by Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson, a dominant combination at the time. However, the one player [...]

Last November, when I heard that Plaxico Burress had shot himself in the leg, I thought it was the craziest thing that I had heard since Aeneas Williams got injured answering the telephone. What I find even crazier is that, not only did Plax have to endure the pain of the gun wound, but now [...]

When talking about consistently good running backs from the early to mid 90′s, Ricky Watters’ name is almost always thrown into the mix. Ricky Watters, who actually played wide receiver for Notre Dame during their 1988 National Championship team, was always a threat that opposing defenses feared and planned against.
