A shout out to Justin Graham

Imagine what Justin Graham could have accomplished in his San Jose State University tenure if not impeded for more than a season with a lingering wrist injury. This on top of being the Spartan all-time leader is assists.

That thought came to mind upon reading that Graham's team, BK Inter Bratislava, based in Slovakia, won the Slovak Extraliga championship 82-80 versus Komarno on June 1.

In 29 games and at 30.7 minutes per contest this season, Graham averaged 11.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per outing.

The best memory of Justin? Him taking apart multi-tattooed Hawaii upperclassmen backcourter Matt Gibson time after time, utilizing dribble-drives resulting in layups, close-in shots and multiple trips to the foul line. Not sure if that was the game in which he scored 29 points on 7-9 overall shooting plus 14-17 from the foul line -- we'll leave that for those with keener recollections.

Congratulations to Justin.
