great basketball player who came a long way. I knew the assoc. prof who tutored him at Notre Dame when he arrived there in the late 80's. He came to Notre Dame and could not read or write, but to his credit, got his degree. It worked well for the prof too as Ellis was allowed to sleep over. Got him in trouble a few times, but the lady prof was left happy!
Boy, oh boy what can i say? i don't even know which one to pick, the maxiell block or this one. Goodness me!!! i would dispute it if this called the block of the century though.
I always loved this block. Also his son came into my store a few months ago, and i asked him about his name Laphonso Ellis jr. And he reluctantly told me he was his son to which i said man i used to play NBA Jam and use your dad and Mutombo to dunk on people. He got a big smile and laughed and we talked for a second cool guy.
ooo i really liked this... ive alwasy been a big fan and its good to see that its going forward in a good direction. hopefully there will be more postive resutls.

Actually don't be too sure: Joel Pryzbilla had a play almost exactly like this last night in the Portland-Memphis game. Memphis player (don't recall who) drove into the middle of the lane & went up for a shot that Pryzbilla block-grabbed right out of his hands on the way up. He was officially credited w/ a steal on the play & not a block. So it might be able to go either way. It would be interesting to see how they officially scored this one though. Nice D either way...
