Fun little clip with The Undertaker sharing an anecdote of playing pickup basketball at Fonde Park as a Shooting Guard on Hakeem Olajuwon’s team.

Includes fun little Houston & UH nostalgia that i believe you’ll all enjoy on this Snowed out day.

Brings back some great memories. I was fortunate enough to play in the Fonde pro-am league for a few years. I played on the same team with Barkley, Terry Teagle, Ricky Pierce and against Moses Malone, Robert Reid, Allan Leavell, etc. Lots of fun.

Always thought Taker was from Dallas, not Houston. and he played bball?..same with Kane and Diesel … could’ve had a WWF Hoop Foundation stable.

Lol I guess the Houston Chronicle lurks this forum…they wrote an article about this today. It’s trending on their website.
