He never gets talked about here but the big man is still in the game. Maybe it didn’t pan out in the NBA but quite the distinguished career abroad.

Had no idea he was coaching

He used to come to the apartment pool on Brightside View with another basketball player (Russian player at the time, can't remember name).
He was kind of a "look at me" person. But, with his size I guess you have to be that kind of person or be miserable.

He gave me some static in line to use the ATM but I told him to step off.

Yes, he was a lot smaller than Geert.
Geert was obnoxious, the Russian was very quiet almost shy.

Russel grant and a black point guard who was a turnover machine used to come to the 8 foot goals and a take on all is neighborhood kids and dunk on us.

That's a blast from the past. Had my very last class at LSU with him in summer '94. It was a small, 4000 level management class with about ten people in it. He was a pretty laid back dude.

He is looking sharp and in good shape.
Posted on 5/18/25 at 4:30 pm to white beans
He looking like a Russia mob boss
Posted on 5/18/25 at 4:30 pm to white beans
I remember he came in as a freshman and looked big but had a ways to go, by the time he was a senior he developed into a nice big man . Think he made all sec

Was he able to stay upright?
That dude was constantly falling down on the court.

Maybe, he’d come coach the Tigers?

Probably Nebosja Bukomersvik. Probably murdered the spelling.

Dale sold him as a 6-8 Serbian Magic Johnson. When he got to campus he was 6-2 and slow.

But he could destroy the pop a shot at Fred’s.

He was a first-round draft pick.
The Magic took Shaq and Geert in back to back years

There was no shot clock then, the Ukes played a very deliberate style. They would pass the ball 10 or 15 times every possession. Boring as hell.
About halfway through the first half the LSU student section started chanting, "Hurry up-ski, hurry up-ski!"
