Around 2010 or 2011, I would regularly see members of the team playing pickup in Ping. At the time, there were weights upstairs and when I'd finish lifting I'd go to the hallways overlooking the courts from above and do pushups/sit-ups. Multiple guys from those teams ran the court often but DJ Cooper is the one I vividly remember watching a handful of times. His court vision/passing stood out even more in pickup games. It was real easy to get stuck watching those games
One time I caught the team playing in Ping and saw an altercation between KVK and Bubba Walther. They were on different teams and were arguing about a rule or a foul or something. KVK demonstratively slams the ball onto the floor out of bounds. Bubba picks it up and chucks it at Kenneth when his back was turned. Then Kenneth turns around headlocks Bubba down to the ground.

Another time at Ping, I was in a pickup game and guarded former women's player Lauren Revesz. Big, thick post player who trucked through me about three or four times.
That is an incredible story!

Some of my favorite times at Ping were after football season concluded and you'd see the football team come into Ping and try to run the courts. Some of the guys were uber talented and could have probably had basketball scholarships too. I remember seeing Kalvin McRae on the court and thinking "wow he's not that big" because he was wearing baggy shirt and shorts. He would probably put me in a hospital in the Oklahoma drill for real though.

Haha this is a great one. I’d imagine it was broken up pretty quick.

I ran into Granger / BVP / AJ Clayton / BRod during High Fest and looked they they were having a fun time. BVP and Granger were the life of that party. I also watch BVP on Twitch whenever he streams and boy it never disappoints. Dude is the most interesting man in Athens currently.

Nothing like hopping into the Court Street BP to grab a Natty case late at night and top 10 all time Ohio scorer Leon Williams is your cashier.

LOL! Do you remember if there was a conversation?
