Used to shoot a soft jumper from the top of the key. Our leaping guard Jimmy Johnston jammed one on his noggin. Harvey only scored 5
points that night. Never ever saw a guy who could leap that well. He could hang off the top the the backboard glass.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?
