Back when NewMexiKen went to high school, basketball had evolved well past the peach basket stage. Even so, there weren’t many boys who could dunk — at least not in Tucson, Arizona — maybe three or four. One of my friends was one of them, a 6-10 high school All-American — one of that year’s top 50 players nationally. In pre-game warmups Dave put on quite a show — I can remember the other team stopping their drills to watch when his turn for a layup — that is, a dunk — came. A dunk during a game was still very rare. Well, times have changed.
