Stokes!

SI has it's 100 Best Michael Jordan photos of all time, and here's one from his UNC days against UVa (back in the Dark Ages: When Virginia Hoops Mattered), and also in the picture is Ricky Stokes. Stokes' older brother of course is Bobby Stokes, who was on the 1976 UVa team that is still, incredibly, the only Vriginia team to win the goddam ACC Tournament.

More impressively, Bobby played high school ball in the Northern Neck District; I can still see his wing of the trophy case in the lobby whenever we'd go to King William.

And yes, faithful reader, it was against KW that I scored more than half out points in one game. Jeez, you're embarrassing me! if you pointed out the time I got burned by Stephen King...twice.

And Bobby Stokes was my doctor at Riverside Hospital in T-Town one time. Just a dumb jock trying to give back to the community I guess.
