I thought he'd kill at Kansas and be a surefire lotto pick by his sophomore year. BUT HERE IS THE TRUTH WHY KENNY G. NEVER MADE IT TO THE LEAGUE: Kenny suffered from what I call the "Skywalker's Cure." he is a classic case of a guy who had all of the physical tools but Kenny could not shoot or dribble well enough to play the wing in the league. The guy has huge (and I mean HUGE) hands and from what i heard this was a large part of the problem. I wish Kenny well and hope he is enjoying life.

He played for Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel last season. Maccabi lost the Euroleague champioship to CSKA Moscow last season. Yes, that is Marcus Fizer.

Sure looks like it to me. Ahh, remember the life and times of Iowa State with Fizer and Tinsley... One question, is that by chance Marcus Fizer in the picture with Kenny? Sure looks like it to me.

As for a cat around my way that never made his mark in the big league, that would be Nik Caner-Medley. He was MR. Basketball in Maine and then went on to star at the University of Maryland and he did great. He played at Rucker the day Kobe came to the park and didn't do much, but he played. Now he's trying to make it in the L, after a stint with the D-League and some Vegas action. Close but no cigarillo! Word, i used to think Kenny would be KG 2 back in the day.
