That's great.  I love it.  But does an big unathletic white guy always have to play the fool (think Tevonn's poster dunk)?  ;)

dude's got nothing on this guy, though:  AMAZING YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS

QuoteFlorida State was trailing Miami (YTM) 62-47 with 4:38 to play last night in their ACC matchup in Miami.  That's when freshman G Xavier Rathan-Mayes did something that might be hard to do in a video game.  He went on to score 30 points in the game's remaining minutes...and the Seminoles still lost, 81-77!  Rathan-Mayes hit six threes, two lay-ups and eight free throws in the final 4:38 of the contest, finishing with a season-high 35 points.  It was his second 35-point game of the season, with the other coming against UNC in January. 

He was the #30 recruit in the country in the class of 2014, per Rivals, with offers from a whole host of schools, including Kentucky, Illinois and UConn.  Michigan didn't recruit him, as far as I can tell.  While he has gone off a few times this season, you could definitely call him a chucker.  Rathan-Mayes attempts 12 FGs per game, 5.2 from three and only shoots .411/.274/.694.  To his credit, he also averages 4.5 APG, against 3.5 TOs.

That was a pretty fantastic move, poor Bobby Hain  :lol:

I'm showing this clip today, along with Tevonn's jam from the other night in class as we lead up to the big Students vs. Staff basketball game this afternoon.

looking for a post to stick this "Instagram" that Paul shared on Twitter...

2kayzero:    I've been thinking about the NBA (my ultimate dream) and coming back for my senior year and today I made the decision to leave school early and enter my name in 2016 NBA draft! God has blessed me all my life and this year has been such a blessing! I would like to say thank you to everyone that helped me along the way! But now the work gets even harder!! And I'm ready for it! OAKLAND has been such a great place and I'll never forget the memories I had here with my teammates, coaches, trainers and professors!! I'll forever be a GOLDEN GRIZZLY 🐻🤘🏾


He doesn't say anything about hiring an agent... but he may be drafted...
