My
most memorable moment as a University of Chicago athlete
"The greatest moment in my college basketball
career was in 1986 when our captain, Mike Clifford, hit a fadeaway
three-point play at the buzzer with a hand in his face to win the
game that made us 12-2 and catapulted us into the top 20. This was
no ordinary fadeaway; he was pushed so far by the defender that
he collapsed into the players on the bench."
Memories
of being a student-athlete I would like to share
"My personal favorite was doing the Sports Illustrated
spread with Igal Litovsky, who had been all-state in high school
and also ended up in grad school at Harvard with me. Our coach had
told the reporter that I studied Chinese and Japanese (wrong! I
worked on languages farther west like Armenian and Sanskrit) so
I had to sit in the bowels of the Field House posing with Chinese
and Japanese dictionaries for an hour." |
