Jarrett Jack.
I played city league pro/am ball against Stevie Colter back in Phoenix. He was a city legend from Phoenix Union HS along with Rudy White (Houston Rockets). In that same league we went up against Lewis LloydIf you were a Cavs die hard in the late-80s into early 90s, you know the magic of injury replacement combo guard Steve Colter.
He was a backup guard in the mid 1980s with the nastiest crossover Isaiah Thomas ever saw. He played overseas for three seasons, then injuries hit the 1994/95 Cavs back court hard. Terrell Brandon, Mark Price, and John Battle were all hurt. Gerald Madkins was terrible. So Wayne Embry grabs Colter out of a barnstorming CBA league that would soon fold. He looked like he couldn't afford a decent meal in his time away from the NBA. This skinny dude way past his prime was still shaking NBA All Stars with his "crooked leg" crossover.
I should forget Steve Colter, but I won't forget Steve Colter. He was a pioneer of Kyrie's amazing bag of ball handling tricks.
It might have been someone else, but didn't Colter tip in the winning basket in the 1995 Double Overtime thriller against the Nuggets?If you were a Cavs die hard in the late-80s into early 90s, you know the magic of injury replacement combo guard Steve Colter.

Harry's is always awesome! And I remember watching people bungie jumping in the parking lot of McCaw's.I was there from 90-95, then stuck around till 2001 bartending on campus, lol, My good friend is still the general manager at Harry's....so all these years later and I could still get a free drink on campus. Cant believe they closed Neon Cactus, McCaw's was my favorite before they moved everything down the levee to Cactus.

Two overtimes and the final score was 101-100.
The score after the first quarter was 15-10 Denver.
Fratello-Ball at its finest.
