Remembering Chamberlain

"Dad, you always told me that Wilt was the dominant players of the 1960s in the NBA. Well, let's say, I am the dominant player between us in your 6o's!" The banal conciliatory comment of a triumphant son against his father upon completion of 'Big Daddy' Jeff Briscoe's (4-6) victory against the TennisTitan in the mid-day Florida sun at Blue Crab Key. The Titan wilted indeed in the 1oth game of a match that he crawled back into by dropping his service at love. TT had both placement and pace on his service and groundies during the competitively played set. Unfortunately for the pooped Poppa 'BD' had all the answers for the most part. Titan was forced to go deep into rallys against the far more mobile 30 year old father of three. 'BD' would hear none of PopPa's lame excuse for his defeat. "Don't be telling me that you are still tired from taking care of my brood for 12 hours yesterday. That would be like you telling me that you were once the dominant player between us - and that was 15 years ago. That's ancient history"
