Editor’s note: Brooklyn’s own is gone but never forgotten
Before I get all sick over the Big East representing so thorough in this years NCAA tournament I thought I should give some love to my brother that brought his brand of Brooklyn excitement to the hardwood. CONRAD McRAE was nicknamed McNASTY for the ferocious zeal that he played the game with. His specialties were thunderous slam dunks and emphatic shot rejections.
CONRAD was a athletic and energetic player, but at 6ft. 9in. he was undersized to play the center position in the big leagues despite finishing Syracuse with a stellar career. CONRAD took his game overseas and found tremendous success playing in the Italian and Turkish leagues. The following press blurb was taken from the Ankara Daily News…

“A hat-trick of basketball stories for you today, the first one we would prefer not to have to write. Forward Conrad McRae has died of a heart attack while in training with the Denver Nuggets. McRae was well known to Turkish basketball lovers from spells with Fenerbahce and Efes Pilsen. In his Fener days, he made himself one of the most popular players in the Turkish League, not only because of his fluent points scoring but because of his flamboyant style and crowd-pleasing antics. With Efes he was less successful. Some of the magic seemed to have gone and it was apparent he was never going to be the team player then- coach Aydin Ors wanted. The club released McRae before he had completed a single season. Nevertheless the fans will remember with affection the sight of him soaring in like a giant eagle for one of the slam dunks he and they so loved.” |
That’s just how I remember ol’ boy too.

Editor’s note: I’m totally laughing my arse off because I used this same exact drop back in 2007. Look it up. Winners still get free shit.
Guess what buttercups?!? It’s another DP Dot Com sports pool. This time it’s for the NCAA Final Four tournament. Thank goodness Yahoo dot com sets up the brackets and administers the points. All you have to do is register. Leave me a comment on this post thread if you want to part of the March madness. I will e-mail you the secret password and you can get it on and popping. You will need to be registered before the first games tip off on Thursday afternoon.
College basketball hasn’t been worth a shit since all the good players go to the Association straight from high school anyhoo. March Madness however, is that shiite. It gives you the chance to get that old college sweatshirt from off the floor in your hallway closet. Remember the good ol’ college days when you could drink a keg of beer all by your lonesome? And how you would smoke weed out of almost anything? This is the time of year when all that is good again. Call up some old college buddies and get wasted. Call up your old college boyfriend and get laid. Why the fuck do you think they call it March Madness? The credo for liars and cheaters is in full effect, so whatever happens during March Madness, stays in March Madness.
I am predicting that the Kansas Jayhawks take the crown this year. Who the fuck cares!?! The winner gets a free pair of Nike Dunks. And that’s what’s really good!
