I met Luc Longley when the Chicago Bulls came to Vancouver to play the Grizzlies in 1998.

He was the biggest man I have ever seen.

I said "G'day mate"

He said "G'day how ya goin'?"

I said "Yeah. awright."

He said "Ah (getting the accent), Where ya from?"

I said "Melbourne, mate"

He said "Goin' tonight?"

I said "Yair"

He said "Good on ya".

I said "Stick it up 'em mate"

He smiled. "Yeah"

Rivetting stuff I know, and forged in my memory.

(And re-lived at dinner parties)

In the game the Griz were right in the game until the last quarter and finally went down by 18. Longley was ordinary, from memory, but I seem to remember his freak mate with the tats playing well. (Rodman 22 rebounds - I looked it up)

Oh, and I've got a site.

I thought this was about olympic athletes.. oh well,

Maury Wills comes into my grocery store.

You ever go up to him and say "Hey, aren't you Bump Wills's dad? What's it like to have a major leaguer in the family?"
