As every fan of Baron basketball eagerly awaits the return of BaronBasketballMania, we present Curtis Allen up for the Name game. As a senior who has played every year on the Baron basketball team, I'm surprised we've never given him a nickname before. Curtis, this is long over due.
Let the record state that I worship everything Indiana Pacers. Like I wear Reggie Miller pajama's at night. I don't remember Chris Mullin for his golden years on the Warriors (once a Pacer, always a Pacer). I will even admit that Ron Artest is one of the most tragically misunderstood players ever in the NBA. That brawl against the Pistons in '04 only proves every wretched rumor about Detroit, it's fans, and the entire Pistons organization. All except one. Tayshaun Prince. I cried myself to sleep the night he had
this block on Reggie Miller in the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals. Ever since then, I've respected him and his game changing abilities on both sides of the court. In this way, Curtis is like. . . no. . . Tayshaun is like Curtis. Both players are known for their key defensive stops, but they are also more than capable of leading their team in scoring on any given night. Plus, as one of the handful of seniors on the team, you're gonna be pressed to find a more respected guy on the team. Since this is his final semester on the team before he graduates, I know he will post one of the biggest semesters he's had on the Baron basketball team. I shudder at the thought of ever rooting for the Pistons. Unless its just for Taysh.
Congratulations, Curtis "Prince" Allen. Let the reign continue.
