Have you ever had a memorable moment against a star? Like you played


HS hoops and blocked some guy who later became a college star or NBA player? Or you absolutely tagged a running back as a linebacker and sent him to the bench for a quarter?

I'm just thinking of 2 VT basketball plays. First, most recent, Mutts flying over Banchero for that poster. Banchero out played him overall, and is likely to be very rich sometime in the near future, but Mutts got that moment over him. And no, before y'all go negative, I know Justyn has done a lot more than just that play.

The second makes me think of Greg Brink. In one game vs Georgetown, where VT last in Landover, Brink had to matchup with Freshman Alonzo Mourning. We had him on our radio show sometime after that game; a couple of weeks since that game was at Christmas break.

Greg was asked about him getting blocks on 2 consecutive Mourning shots. Greg said "Well, he's probably going to be a very rich guy someday, but he got the ball in the post, made a really generic move and I thought "well, pay the price" and swatted it. He got it back, did another basic move and I knocked it out again."
