		Eaton had the bulk but had to be talked into playing college basketball after being spotted as an auto mechanic in Southern California who played water polo in high school.
		And a player of that size doesn't have any worry of a guard double-teaming him, as long as he keeps (the ball) at chest level.

	Where Are They Now: Kenny Lyles, Garfield High, UW basketball center
		Twenty-eight years ago, Kenny Lyles was a Garfield High School basketball player who watched with great anticipation as one of the game's most debated amateur rules was changed overnight prior to his senior season.
		Finally, dunks were permitted again on the high school and college levels after their banishment for nearly a decade, a knee-jerk reaction to both the arrival of a UCLA 7-footer named Lew Alcindor and a spate of broken rims.
		When the UW was searching for a new basketball coach three years ago, Lyles was on the phone telling Romar that the job was made for him and imploring then-athletic director Barbara Hedges not to overlook his buddy.

		After winning the Naismith College Player of the Year award in 1984, he left school early to enter the NBA Draft, and was selected by the Chicago Bulls in the first round as the third pick overall, after Houston Rockets center Akeem Olajuwon and Sam Bowie of the Portland Trail Blazers.
		An African American professional basketballer also named Michael Jordan who plays in the German BBL was so frequently compared with the NBA legend because of his namesake that he allowed inclusion of his second name to his handle, and was from then on loosely referred to as Michael-Hakim Jordan.

		Some of the changes are good, but at some point you have to leave the game alone and force the players to play up to a certain bar in terms of what their skill levels are and their fundamentals.
		The three-pointer would become a tool only used when you're trying to win a ballgame, and the dunking would force players to be able to do something more and broaden their games.
		Eaton: My perception is the need to get back to the basics of basketball, to find the players who pass and cut and move.

	Block (basketball) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In basketball, a block (short for blocked shot) occurs when a defensive player legally deflects a shot from an offensive player.
		A player with the ability to block shots can be a great asset to a team's defense, as he or she can make it difficult for opposing players to shoot near the basket and gives opportunities for counterattacks such as fastbreaks.
		To be a good shotblocker, a player needs great court sense and timing, and good height or jumping ability.
