In Christian Laettner’s case, that fall is from a much higher altitude than for most other people.

It is always great to meet someone who has fallen head-over-heels in love with the sport of fishing.

If I had known earlier what a wonderful experience it was, I would have directed my agent to get me on a Pat Riley team much earlier.” “I only played for Coach Riley for one year with the Heat at the end of my career. Laettner went on to play in the NBA for 13 years and made the All-Rookie team and the All-Star team. Laettner was the only college player invited to join this incredible assemblage on professionals. He was part of the Dream Team that won a gold medal with Michael Jordan and company. He was the best college player in the nation when he starred for the Duke Blue Devils. I remembered Laettner and his storied basketball career quite vividly. It quickly clicked in my head that I was looking at Christian Laettner, who actually stands in at 6-11. Isn’t that the most likely place to find a 7-footer? As I wondered where I had seen him before, my mind started rapidly searching through my memory of NBA players. I looked at his face and he seemed awfully familiar to me.

Now that isn’t something you run across every day. When he had finally reached standing position, it seemed as if he was 7-foot tall. He began to stand and kept rising and rising and rising. The corner of my eye caught a guy in a booth to my left rising from a sitting position in a chair. I was walking around the aisles of the Chicago Muskie Expo at the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates in January and my eyes wandered everywhere as I tried to take in all of the sights.
