No matter what the NCAA does with the basketball tournament, this will always be the time of year where I break out my George Mason sweatshirt. Thanks to the miracle tournament run a few years back, this is the time of year we are reminded the name “George Mason” is synonymous with “lowest seed to make the Final Four.”
Whenever I hear that, it makes me wonder what has become of the stars of that team. Jai Lewis, the 6′ 7″, 300-pound mass of muscle that controlled the paint for the Patriots abandoned his attempt to become an NFL player and is now playing basketball in the Phillipines. Folarin Campbell also found foreign shores, hitting the hardcourt for an Italian team. Sports Illustrated cover man Lamar Butler is playing the point in the D-League. And Tony Skinn still destroys scrotums everywhere he goes.
If you don’t recall, Mason’s improbable run in 2006 began with Skinn serving a one-game suspension for attempting to crush the manbits of Hofstra forward Loren Stokes. In another showing that some things never change, Skinn is shown here using the flesh balloon of some poor European as a launch-pad to a rim-hanging thunderdunk.
As long as you get your face on a cereal box…
