[Husker] FT Comparison

[Jerry Meyer]

Or the time at the NBA All-Star Game (sometime in the 80's?) where Rolando Blackman (KSU alum) was fouled as time ran out.  He had to make two free throws to tie the game and send to overtime.  I believe it was Julius Erving who came over from the opposing East team and told him to "make the first one, brick the second."  I think it was Magic who came over and chased Erving away and jawed at him for quite awhile after that.  Blackman did hit both shots and sent it to overtime, where I believe the West team won the game.  Blackman said after the game that he had never felt so much pressure in any game he had ever been in, simply because he was playing with the best players in the world and didn't want to embarrass himself by missing.  That was a game that was so much fun to watch, it should have gone on for a long time!

to go shoot FT and the fans behind the basket all dropped closet length
posters of women in bikinis. Even Bird had to step away from the line to
laugh at the stunt.
