Random Throwback: Ed Pinckney

While eating breakfast, with the lack of news papers to read (which was a cost saving measure I initiated at our home), I was reading an guitar related magazine and out of nowhere, Ed Pinckney's name just popped out of my head. I remember Ed being a member of the Boston Celtics during the decline of the Bird/Demise of Reggie Lewis era.

Checking his bio, he won NCAA Tournament's Most Outstanding Player leading the Villanova Wildcats to the championship over Patrick Ewing's Georgetown Hoyas. He also participated in the first tip-off for the Toronto Raptors Basketball Franchise! Now how many players can claim that?!?
