Very cool story about a Terp great. Liz, you'll have to forward it to Penelope ; )
Quoted: Later, looking at the collection, he said: “Not often, but on occasion I feel guilty. I have all this because I run real fast and I tackle people. I recognize why I’ve been able to do this. It’s not all because of me or my family or my teammates or my coaches. It’s more because of the faces on the walls in my basement.”

This is a must-read for NBA fans and a great article in general. My favorite part is when Elgin goes Clay Davis on chartered flights and the pampered NBA lifestyle and then asks casually, "You ever hear about the time we crashed in a cornfield?"
Also, Mike Dunleavy is a cheater. Tell your friends.
Quoted: But Elgin's 38-19-5 makes no sense whatsoever. I don't see how this happened. It's inconceivable. A U.S. Army Reservist at the time, Elgin lived in a barracks in the state of Washington, leaving only whenever they gave him a weekend pass ... and even with that pass, he could only fly coach on flights with multiple connections to meet the Lakers wherever they happened to be playing. Once he arrived, he would throw on a uniform and battle the best NBA players alive on back-to-back nights.
