Plus, it made for some humerous moments. I'm 6'-2" and my nickname was "Dime" as that was the clearance my heel made from the floor at the apex of my jump. I got tied up with a 5'5" player in college. This guy's License Plate was "ISKY". I knew he'd get the tap and the crowd would ridicule me without mercy. At least it prepared me for professional life.
JCrow -- I don't think they had vanity plates in those days. Kinda takes the wind out of the sails, dontcha think?
