Billy Thomas – Welcome to Cleveland
Although not even Billy can recite the sequence of events leading up to his most recent callup from the Cavs by heart, his teachers and classmates at Pier Avenue Elementary School in Shreveport, Louisiana, can attest to the journey's beginning:
"I may have been the first fourth-grader to perfect the finger roll," Thomas said. "But mostly, I would wander outside, far away from the basket, and I'd shoot. I'd just lay back and launch the ball. I always enjoyed shooting from a long way away." (Source: The Kansas City Star January 29, 1998)
