re: "José...Don't shoot!"

The other thing about Jose was every once in a while he could pull off a simply dominating performance. I remember going to his very first game (I think at home against Loyola of Chicago with Alfrederick "the Great" Hughes). It was his and John Williams' first game as Tigers. Jose scored like 22 points, outscoring Williams who was a 5-star PF out of Los Angeles. I remember thinking, "Wow! We've got 2 great FR bigs!", but he was inconsistent.

I remember that after spending time in the Dominican Republic and playing basketball with some of the locals, including Jose, that Greg Cook is the one who spotted Jose and called Dale.

Jose just seemed like an all-around great guy. I know he got drafted by the Mavs after the 88-89 season but I lost touch with how long he stayed in the league.
