I had a really great lunch today. Not gonna tell you what it was or where I got it. Also not going to give you any details on it, but I figured I would let everyone here know since I KNOW everyone cares what I had for lunch.

I mean seriously... if you didn't want us to know what was in the article you could have just not posted.

Maybe we could all pool some money together and get you and the WHO guy to take some remedial copy/paste classes...

Hey now LOL---Why bring me into this ?

Maybe James “Spook” Bradley was ahead of his time.

The 6-foot-8 Memphis native and basketball star was shooting his silky smooth jumper from long range before there was a 3-point line. He could grab a rebound and go coast to coast in the 1970s like many jumbo forwards today. Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame member and former Melrose coach Verties Sails said he was one of the best passers to the post he coached.

So maybe that skillset is why Bradley was right on time. His legacy is forever engraved in Memphis basketball history after helping Melrose in 1974 to become the first undefeated state champion from Memphis before going on to play three seasons at then-Memphis State from 1976-79. He transferred to the Tigers after one season at Connors State Community College. He averaged 16.5 points per game with the Tigers.

Bradley died on April 12 at age 67, but his legacy lives on. Earlier this year, he was honored at Melrose High School with a jersey retirement.

“Once you got to know him, you would love him because he’s so competitive,” Sails said. “He was a tremendous person.”

His basketball play is the stuff you hear from the old heads in the barbershops. Bradley became a second-round pick of the Atlanta Hawks after his three seasons at Memphis State. He played for the Tigers during a time period where they were figuring out how to maximize his versatile game.

That versatile game is something Dorsey Sims III, who was his teammate for a season at Melrose, compared to Magic Johnson.

"That's just how good James Bradley was with a basketball," Sims said. "Anything that you can see Magic Johnson doing, Bradley did it before Magic Johnson."
