Jim VBJim C and Marty,
I actually saw Fly play, IN HIGH SCHOOL! Although he was from Brooklyn, he went to prep school for at least one year at Glen Springs Academy. This school was just north of Watkins Glen, NY, about 20 miles from where I went to school. At the time, GSA was a school with about 18 students enrolled, all boys. All played basketball, either varsity or JV. My high school was the dominant team locally and we scrimmaged GSA before the season started. It was obvious then that he could score whenever he wanted, from where ever he was on the court, while controlling the pace of the game.
When he went to college, I believe the popular cheer at Austin Peay was:
"The Fly is open! Let's go Peay!"
