Granted it was a fine dimension.

Granted it was a fine dimension.I thought you were a long-time fan with a great memory? Doesn't seem like you are if you are dissing Bootsy like that. Bootsy was a fantastic rebounder for a guard. Want stats? Bootsy for his career averaged 15.1ppg, 5 rebounds per game, nearly 2 steals per game, 2.3 assists per game (more than both of our PGs this year), shot 49.3% overall and 36.7% from 3.But yeah, Bootsy was one dimensional.

I have some better stats for you! Bootsy played in an Elite 8 and a second round of a NCAA tourney! Prez played in 2 BE games and a play station NCAA tourney or whatever that thing is called that they played in last year.Oh and Bootsy dropped 40 on Duke in an OT loss then was the high scorer on a team that beat Duke AT Duke!!!!!!Prez was getting props for scoring 18 in a 7 point loss!If we did a tale of the tape on Kennedy vs Bootsy's SJU career, Bootsy would be Tyson and DJ Spinks!
I'll go further! Saying this team is awesome is like saying Sally Struthers is hot because you've been hitting this your whole life:OK we could be pretty damn good but everyone is giving us the benefit of the doubt too quickly without proving anything!

IT boggles the mind how brainwashed some people are and how people consider this team the second coming just because it's much improved from the crappiest teams in st johns history.

Those are good rebounding numbers. I stand corrected. I don't remember him as a good defensive player and I recall considering the other 3 standouts as better defenders than him. Come to think of it, I would have him pegged as the 4th leading rebounder on that team? Do I have this stuff wrong too?

Here is my list (at this time no particular order): E. BarkleyM. HattenD. HillO. CookB. ThortonL. PostellR. ArtestL. HamiltonA. Gloverand D.J. Kennedy is making his way on that list as well.

Do I have this stuff wrong too?Carmine, You are somewhat correct.In 98-99 Bootsy was 4th on the team with 4.5 rebounds a game behind Artest, Ty Boogie, and Postell. He was actually 0.2 rebounds per game ahead of reggie jessie.In 99-00 Bootsy was the 2ND leading rebounder on the team behind only Postell, and he was tied with Reggie Jessie. Surprisingly, Glover was the 4th leading rebounder that season. It could be a Burrell effect where glover boxed out great and helped others get boards but who knows.Point is, Bootsy did a LOT for the team, was the BE conference tourney MVP in 2000 and was I believe All-BE 2nd and 3rd team in his 2 years with us. To take DJ's body of work so far over that would be error.
