Norman may have been the best leaper in the family. Lincoln ran this play where they would stack 3 guys on either side of the foul line. He would come off that screen and pull-up. I swear to god this dudes feet were up near the defender shoulders when he released that ball. Conrad dunked on me in an exhibition game if I remember correctly at Lafayettes gym. I wear it with pride RIP. The following year Kwame Morton almost single handedly knocked Conrad & Brooklyn Tech out the playoffs. He hit 9 three's but fell short in OT. Another great episode Pooh!

I heard Isaiah say he had a lot more tricks in his bag too but back then if you showed someone up in a game you would find yourself on the wrong side of an elbow. That was the code of the game. I agree Isaiah Thomas the original does not get enough respect for his handle his game or his career.
