I met JaMychal Green last night at my son's AAU practice (he came in for a private workout with his private coach). JaMychal is currently with the Clippers but as most remember a former Bama player.
Anyway, there were less than 10 of us in the gym so I spoke to him during a break. SUPER nice guy, hard worker, very complimentary of our kids. I like him alot.
Here's the interesting part. I said something about State and how he had some great games against us. He smiled and said thanks. Then he said "Dee Bost, man he was quick, hard to guard." I agreed, great player I said. He's had a good career overseas. "Jarvis Vernardo, he was so long!" Yes, I said, all time leading shot blocker. "And Renardo Sidney, he was really good." Bost, Vernardo, and Sidney? It struck me as strange but I think it shows to other elite players they saw what Sidney could do or at least had the potential to do. I don't want this to be a crack on Renardo thread, I just found it very interesting he's remembered by an NBA veteran as one of our good players. A wasted talent sadly.
Again, I can't say it enough, JaMychal was a great guy. I was highly impressed with him.
