That's me putting an inside move on the legendary Brent Patterson, Amarillo, Texas, circa 1979. If you look in the background, you can see the "Tall Texan" himself in the Cowboy hat, Gene Roden.

That's me again looking for a way around the very fast, one-footed starting, Andy Patterson (18). Austin, Texas circa 1979.
