James "Hollywood" Robinson named '18 SEC Legend
- Thread starter TiderJack
- Start date
I remember Robinson taking over a few games. He could jump and had long arms and rebounded well along with the rest of his game.
I think Coach Sanderson brought him in as the 6th man when Robinson was a freshman. He had to learn that defense was a priority. Drove Sanderson nuts with some of his shot selection. Led the team in scoring even with Horry and Sprewell on the team.
Chewed bubblegum and blew bubbles while playing; maybe the only thing similar between his game and mine...

Was in nashville maybe spring '92(?) for our sec tourney championship. Remember Hollywood's reaction when he was named all tourney team. One could tell it meant a lot to him! We did the entire tourney...and coulda sold the championship tickets for twice what we paid for the whole book...no way i was missing it. Loved the Tide, the plaid...and parquet!
Even though it didn't work out that game -- I've had a few people in my life tell me this was one of the best games they ever saw.....
Great highlights of Hollywood, Spree, and Horry -- geez the talent on the floor that day with Day, Mayberry and Miller was phenomenal
Tim Brando sucks....BTW
Watching Bama/Ark games was must see TV. Fast paced, full court games. I would put the talent on both teams up against just about any other two teams.
And yes, Brando sucks.
Alabama beat Arkansas that season in Tuscaloosa and also won 90-89 in the SEC tournament which was a fantastic game as well.
I had to watch this; serious talent on the floor. Arkansas got plenty of "bonus" points that game with Linn's shooting; he averaged 4 points a game that season.
One thing I noticed, despite all the 3 point shots, there were plenty of points scored from short to mid-range jump shots and bank shots. These hardly exist at Bama right now.

I remember the SEC Game -- tried to find it, couldn't..... wasn't that the Elliott Washington 3 at the buzzer game?
Sanderson wasn't a fan of the dunk.
Remember (memory isn't always correct) Benoit missing one against Loyola-Marymount...
I think you are correct.
