bbb Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I was just going to post this. He was really good, before the Braves were good. Another bit of my childhood gone. :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 A very tough 6'8" center who battled much taller players. Only time in my life I enjoyed the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I will always miss the Braves, and all the players and coaches. They were the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Freddy Hilton, Emmitt Bryant, Dickie Garrett and the Elmore. When I looked at that picture last night, I knew exactly who every player was. And, that's Walt Hazzard with the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Their faces were not in the picture. I'm not sure who the ones are just by their bodies and numbers. Is that who they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. #25 is Hosket and #35 is Warner. Edited July 29, 2015 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I have to say that I don't think I would have recognized either one, anyway. Freddie Hilton was before his time - he needed the three point line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
