I went to the U of Md during the Brad Manning, Buck Williams, Albert King era. They had a team mate out of Baltimore named Ernest Graham. Ernie still holds the record at Maryland for the single-game scoring record of 44 points, set against North Carolina State in 1978. I bet everyone in 1981 when his eligibility ran out (he never graduated) he would never play in the NBA, and I made a fortune. They called me crazy; he was the greatest "athlete" on the team.
I said then he was a moron and did not have the inteligence to handle the pressure of pro sports. I watched him blow three games for the terps because he made mental mistakes in critical situations.
Ernie used to come to the club I tended bar in, and I got to speak to him on several occaisions. I came to the conclusion based on those conversations that Ernie could not spell Ernie.
I don't care good you think they are, an athlete has to be able to think under pressure to win.
Ernie never played a game in the NBA, and his new claim to fame is is son. If the boy is as stupid as the dad, he too will soon be a has been.
