Skip is the truth! I got my nickname from playing street bball as well. They called me Trash. They would say stuff like, "Don't pick him he Trash." And, "How you let him score twice? He Trash."

It sounds as if he's saying 'tornaments" instead of tournaments. Love it! I never seen him play in the AND1 tours. I use to enjoy watching Hot Sauce, The Professor, Spyda, Escalade, Main Event, Sik Wit It, AO, Helicopter, and 1/2 Man 1/2 Amazing. It was something special, like the futuristic Harlem Globe Trotters.
