Duckdude Author No. 4 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I couldn’t do it Justice, but…..I’ll try to hit the highlights: Flo was born in Germany. His American father left the family when Flo was 2. Didn’t really say why, but Flo ended up on the basketball team at Thurston High in Springfield. Ernie Kent, UO b-ball coach, came to see him play, and recruited him to UO. FLO’s son, Isaiah……who is now with the Clippers, and in his 4th year in the NBA…..was born when Flo was a freshman at the U of O. All Isaiah remembers of Mac Court is…….the smell! A woman remembers seeing Isaiah on his Mom’s hip(“He was a Big Boy!”), inside Mac Court, and the kid was drooling “like Hootch of ‘Turner and Hootch’ “ at the smell of the popcorn and hot dogs! The rest of the story is about Flo playing pro ball in Germany, and coaching Isaiah as he grew up. isaiah and family decided to skip college ball(including interest from WSU’s Coach, Ernie Kent), and go straight to Euro Pro Ball. Flo is now Isaiah’s personal chef, in support of Isaiah’s entrenchment in the NBA as a regular rotational player. ————- Sorry I was unable to post a working link to the actual article.

I would by the candle with that smell to help recreate some memories. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
