One shot that could have changed everything. It was reported that this was Jerry West’s biggest regret in his career. Probably b******* but it would make sense. Had Selvy hit the mid range shot, which he was a master at, at the time, the Lakers beat Boston in 1962 in Game 7 and maybe history goes the other way. Crazy what one yard, one at bat or one shot can do in the annals of sports history.

Frank Shelvy scored 100 points in a college game when he was at D-1 Furnam.

RIP Frank Selvy. Now he can replay that game in heaven and make it! Haha.

Thought this will be a common thread during the next weeks

Current Roster (17)

DLo (PO) | Gabe | Dinwiddie (UFA) | JHS
Reaves | Knecht | Max | Bronny
Vando | Prince (UFA) | Reddish (PO) | Lewis
LeBron | Rui
AD | Hayes (PO) | Wood

There's only 15 roster spots

Prince is gone
DLo or Dinwiddie, we can't keep both
We have 3 guys with guaranteed spots on JHS, Lewis and Bronny who likely won't contribute.
AD, Bron, Reaves, Rui, Vando, Gabe, Knecht, Max and DLo/Dinwiddie are our core rotation (9 guys).

For each addition to the squad we need to lose Hayes, Wood, Reddish and maybe one or two of the 3 kids. We may have to pay 2nd rounds just to empty roster spots.

Would Hornets accept JHS + Wood for Nick Richards?
