I didn't know Jamal Johnson was Buck Johnson’s son...

I don’t know if some of y’all are old enough to remember when buck Johnson played at Alabama...he was a good one.

Still remember Joe Dean calling those games too - the original “String Music!”

Buck's jump hook was incredible.

"Mama knows best, the Buck stops here!"

This seems like as good a thread as any to ask this question. I remember a Bama guard (think it was the point guard) hitting a last second shot in the NCAA tourney to beat Illinois, I think. It was controversial because the player traveled before the shot.

My questions are what year was this and who made the shot? I want to say it was Gary Waites, but it also seems like it was a few years before Waites was on the team.

My memory isn't what it used to be.

Would you send your son to play for Avery?

I don't think we recruited him very hard.

Avery Johnson was a pretty good one too........ and we know firsthand it doesn’t always run in the family.

I was pretty young but still remember Ennis and Bobby Lee's first game in Tuscaloosa. I remember Ennis spinning around towards the end of the game running out the clock with the defender chasing him. He was so quick.
