FCP, who do you think were the best MAC players who played in the NBA? The only two names I can really come up with are Wally Szczerbiak, who retired due to knee ailment and Ron Harper, I believe Wally played at Mia-OH, Ron Harper same school I think. Any others come to mind?

Bayless I think who currently is in NBA only other player to top of mind.

Input is appreciated!!

Just off the top of my head.... Chris Kaman, Bonzie Wells, Little Earl Boykin. I'm sure there are more old timers but I'd have to look it up

I forgot about Bonzie!! Earl was a midget, not as good as Spud Webb as far as a leaper, but he knew how to play the game. Kaman is like a huge alligator, but he's gotten slow since he left the Clips.

Thanks FCP!! If you find others let me know.

My alma mater only has put a handful (Boykins, Derrick Dial and George Gervin) sure we have a few more but those are only 3 that come to mind. George Gervin was solid in the nba, and Dial was there when I was there, one of the coolest people ever.

I don't remember Dial too much, Gervin I do only in the NBA, formerly ABA player I think, I could be wrrrr.rrrrrrr.rrrrrr....ong, didn't see him on any MAC tv games once ESPN started hoops coverage the MAC got a lot of visibility, not as much as it deserves though.

Thanks Birdie!! :0074

Also from BG was Keith McCleod who played HS ball just down the road. BG was tougher than hell for a few years under Dakich.

Ahhh Gary Trent, " The Shaq of the MAC"
