Agreed re Gervin and Johnny Moore, Russian team with Volkov, Marchaulonis( ? spelling) and Sabonis did play one year at Apollo.

Notable mention was Michael Cooper who did not actually play but spent the night going the perve on Nicki Visser when she was a cheerleader.

When did Rambis, Malone and Worthy play?

Cliff was on the big east tour correct? Also featured Charles Smith from Georgetown.

Stephon Marbury and Chris Mills at the dome.

Rambis toured with his college team Santa Clara

Malone, Worthy toured around 97', my team forfeited a St Clair Semi-final to go watch. (we won the final by 7)

Kym Taylor was the first white guy to play for the Harlem Globetrotters when he played at the Apollo in 86'

How do you forfeit a semi-final and still make/win the final?

James Worthy, Moses Malone & Terry Teagle were temmates on a touring team in Feb 1996.

Don't forget Rimas Kurtinaitis who also played NBL for Townsville.
Olympic Gold Seoul '88 (USSR Team)
Bronze Barcelona 1992 Lithuania
Bronze Atlanta 1996 Lithuanian
Bronze Sydney 2000 Lithuania

Romas Brazdauskis played for West Adelaide (I think?) also in 1992 Bronze Team.
The 88 team USSR also included Lithuanians:
Valdemaras Chomicius (who I think is in Perth coaching the Litho team now)
Sarunas Marciulionis
Arvydas Sabonis
All except Sabonis (I think) have played in Adelaide.
I have a photo of me and the Sydney Bronze Medal Team which I could post on here if I know how?

Kurt Rambis was with Worthy, Malone and Teagle, along with Todd Lichti (with the Wildcats at that stage) and Reggie Theus.
