Camp Stories, With Chris Wilcox
1-liner, NBA July 24th. 2009, 3:00pmChris Wilcox: This from a basketball source once had a legendary encounter with the newest Detroit Piston, Chris Wilcox. “A couple years after Wilcox left College Park he came back to speak at summer camp. He was supposed to speak at 10:00 AM. At around 9:55 [a Maryland assistant asked] ‘Man, you have to go see if Chris is here. He’s running late.’ As 400 young campers waited, I went outside Cole Field House and soon spotted a little sports car (might’ve been a Benz but I can’t remember) with a rather large man sitting in it. I walked up, and sure enough Wilcox was inside talking on his cell phone. I tapped on the window and he waved me off. I tapped again and said, ‘Chris, everyone’s waiting on you.’ He then looked at me, tilted a 40 of Colt .45 Malt (seriously, finished it off) and got out of the car and went in. He then proceeded to give a 20-minute talk on the evils of drugs and alcohol.”

AWESOME.
Seriously, though, TBL, I agree with what you wrote the other day at Wilcox. I’m really looking forward to him with the Pistons. This new, more uptempo style they’re going to play with fits him very well. I remember that dude running the break at Maryland and throwing down the jams. He’s done it well in The League, too, when given the chance.
Good story in the Free Press about him the other day.

Nice. Gotta take that edge off before public speaking. Magnum > Cobra > Reserve > St. Ides > Colt….As far as shit malt liquor goes, Colt is bruuuutal

The only thing that surprises me about this is that it was Wilcox and not Lonnie Baxter.
Funny that Gary has the campers listen to a drug and alcohol speech. Gary likes to have some drinks himself. I have witnessed it firsthand on a few occasions.

ive heard it…that was my pathetic attempt at humor.
i wish there was some way to emphasize extreme sarcasm here without a “/.”

Wilcox has issues if he is drinking that early in the AM. No wonder he sucks in basketball
July 24th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Pistons still not making the playoffs.

I love the Afroman song. I had so many laughs to that song in college. Good times.

Cheap ass punk, where’s the Crystal?
July 24th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
My bad. I couldn’t catch up with your fastball like the Sox couldn’t Verlander today.
/ZING!!!!

Colt .45? Nice but I loved me some Micky’s 22’s in college.
July 24th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Mickey’s is good too. But where there’s Mickey’s, there’s bound to be a fight.
July 24th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
That’s why my buddy loved to get Mickey’s Grenades…perfect size to throw at somebody.

Fuck You!

Wilcox sucks a fat dick.
He’s literally the same player now that he was in highschool.
July 24th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
this 40 discussion makes me want to go back to college and play edward 40hands again.
July 24th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
clown, you prob wont see this, but i’ll take you up on that pistons-playoffs mention. email me.
July 24th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Could not disagree more. Magnum gave teenage me the worst drunk of my life, Cobra is just fucking terrible, Reserve is ehhhh, St. Ides only tasted good in Oakland (surroundings) but Colt? Colt .45 works *every* time.
Anyone remember Crazy Horse? PowerMaster?
