I was at the CRC last night and I saw a pretty good game of pick-up ball. Nesbitt, MJ, BeBe, Earrls, and Morgan were on one team. The other team I didn't really know Mike Peterson might have been running with them, they were a couple of guys I recognize as being up there fairly frequently...except for Jeremis!
Sucks to go up to the CRC to run a little pick-up only to discover your are up against a Multi-year ACC-caliber starter at forward. That is unless your name is MJ and you are The Destroyer. MJ was guarding Jeremis so that was actually a pretty good matchup. I think MJ has a little height advantage on JS, meaning JS is probably a couple of inches under his listed height of 6-8. Also MJ probably has longer arms.
Each of them had a few nice jams, but Jeremis really had one liftoff on a fast break that went over a weak attempt at a block for a thunderous throwdown.
Nesbitt's hammy must be feeling better . He had several nice finishing drives to the rack...(although he may have traveled ;) learning from the NBA best... I saw Paul Pierce take 4 steps last night)
BeBe can really play, I saw him drain a few threes with a hand in his face.
Morgan also looked to be quite good not surprising as he is an exceptional athlete.
Overall, a very fun game to watch; MJ's team won, and there was the nominal dunk contest after the game with several nice dunks. Had I stayed AT was coming in to play. Also Jeremis left but Gani showed up and took his spot against MJ.
