COCO GAUFF 🏆

Twenty-one years young!

Roland Garros 2025 🎾 Champion

I picked up a basketball a couple of years before becoming a kindergartener. Growing up in Baltimore, I was surrounded by guys a little bit older who played often. But the first individual who inspired me to get on a court and attempt to DOMINATE was Nate ‘Tiny’ Archibald.

“The House” was underrated.

(L to R):
1. Wilt (’72 🏆) in an ‘ALL~HOFer’ photo (w/ ‘Pearl’ Monroe, ‘Logo’ West, Jerry Lucas, & ‘Clyde’ Frazier)

2. Russell (showing Matt Guokas & Philly why defense is paramount) ‘Hondo’ notwithstanding

3. Solidarity at the ‘Cleveland Summit’

4. Ali at his 🥊 apex (v. ‘Big Cat’ Williams)

The floating continued years later at the 1968 🏆 Finals, moving from the Sports Arena to the Forum, with the same outcome.

That was a PHYSICAL series. Nate Thurmond averaged 20 rebounds per in the 6-game series, & rugged Bill Bridges snatched 19 rebounds for the Hawks. Zelmo Beaty was good for nearly 12 boards per contest.

The man dubbed “Butterbean” was erroneously cast aside by the Cincinnati Royals and the Milwaukee Bucks. The Southern U. alum was the heart and soul AND the primary catalyst for the Bulls rise into prominence in the early 70s. (1/2)
