Defending Dell Curry

To my eyes watching in person and on TV that the defensive strategy on Dell Curry was to keep pushing him farther from the basket which didn't work because he'd keep hitting the shots no matter how far he got pushed back.

I handled claims for both JR Reid and Alonzo Mourning. Loved Kenny Gattison

If Dell had a 3-point line, he'd be VT's leading scorer, not Bimbo.
Will StewartAdmin • 04/21/25 01:40 PM ET
Wally Lancaster was another scorer that shot a lot of 2's from deep.**
HoakieCup • 04/22/25 06:35 AM ET

804Hokie • 04/21/25 02:10 PM ET
Agreed. Just think how many more 3- pointers he would have attempted. Just
santafe • 04/21/25 02:05 PM ET
That's why the Hornets were my favorite team as a kid.

Gosh, on paper, that team looks so much better then just above .500
HOKIE MAGIC • 04/20/25 04:30 PM ET
I blame J.R. Reid**
Newt • 04/21/25 11:09 AM ET
As a kid who went to Green Run, happy to blame all Kemps-villains....

Kendall Gill's passing still hurts.
Walkin` Willie • 04/20/25 11:18 AM ET
Hornets games were a blast in the early 90s.
GreenvilleVT • 04/21/25 08:53 AM ET
What in the world are you talking about? **
HwoodHokie • 04/20/25 02:20 PM ET
Kendall Gill is still alive and kicking as far as I know...**
