    Yeah, that title was ours before Yao went down. The Lakers were a beaten team.

    I prefer to forget.

    He was a bonafide mental midget.

    He had like one good game in his career and everyone kept hoping that's the player he would develop into.

    Never happened.

    Mike James happened instead.

    Things I remember about Luther Head:

    The Illinois team he played on was awesome. Had 3 great guards.
    His rookie year, he was great on defense. Then, he became terrible at it.
    He had a 40" vertical and Rockets announcers always talked about it.

    And then Yao was done two seasons later. What a tragedy.

    He is literally fouled on all his 3s. In today’s league watch how the defense hits him coming down so often.

    I said what’s up to him one day and he was shocked I knew who he was. He had a girl with him.

    One of my coworkers has a sports card side hustle and unleashed this bad boy one day. I couldn’t help but laugh when I turned the card over and saw a sticky note with $50 written on it. I asked if that’s what he expects for it and he said that’s what he paid for it. Every time he talks about how he needs to save up for a down payment for a house I tell him to sell his Lebron rookie card as well as the Luther Head card.:D F8053F3C-D2AF-4FC5-A4C5-3FF44FFC80F8.jpeg
