Properly Mix Taped: Clyde Drexler06/26/2011 Welcome to the 1st of what I hope are many audio corrections to various YouTube mixes of 70, 80s and 90s NBA players set to gangsta rap, soft rock and other incongruous music to more appropriate fare. Original Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNJx-u9XfJ0  Kevin Willis was one of the many great players selected in the 1984 NBA Draft (Jordan, Hakeem, Barkley, Stockton, Otis Thorpe, Sam Perkins, Jerome Kersey, Michael Cage, Vern Fleming, Alvin Robertson amongst the others). Cursed with tiny hands and short arms for a 7-footer, Willis found himself splitting time between both, playing PF/C and also starting/coming off the bench for the first 6 years of his career. Over that span, only once did he crack 30 minutes per game.

(original Z), Zelmo Beaty. Not only did he have one of the NBA’s all-time greatest names, Beaty was a stalwart center for the NBA’s St. Louis/Atlanta Hawks before being one of the few stars (Rick Barry being another) to jump ship to the upstart ABA in the early 1970s.
