Paul George on Deonte Burton

[Goclones1727]

That Purdue game against Swanigan and Haas was something else. Will never forget it.

When Burton put his head down and took it to the rim, god have mercy on the souls of whoever got in his way.

He and Royce could absolutely destroy a defender if they had their mindset on getting inside, probably more than all but a few other players of the past 20 years.

Monte's face in that always cracks me up!!

And at the same time neither probably ever gets to Ames.

Georges gets back.

ISU would have killed Purdue in that tourney game if we'd just gone isolation with Burton earlier in the game. Their super slow All American wasn't even close to being able to defend him.

Probably the time where Fred vs Prohm was most evident coaching a game.

Mandatory #2. What a game. Oh so close.

Mandatory #2. What a game. Oh so close.

He has a really smooth looking shot for someone that bulky and muscular.

Georges gets back.

I think @Gunnerclone is saying they don't come to ISU to start with because they go to a blue blood or similar with those kinds of measureables.

Ah, now I get it. Sorry Gunner!

Burton is my 2nd favorite player in ISU history to watch - no matter how many heart attacks he gave me going behind the back in the lane.

I’ll never forget Prohm tearing up when Deonte was introduced on senior night.

That dunk on Swanigan 62-65 was so epic. I'm still amped up.

I'll never forget Prohm getting heckled by the fan in the post senior night game ceremony, and then proceeding to chastise the fan.

Good times.

Gotta give the play by play guy some love on that too, that was a great call.

I wouldn't call that true heckling. Prohm said something about the season not being what we had hoped. And there weren't very many people there, so when the one guy said something like "you're telling me," his voice carried and Prohm heard it.

I hope that guy posts here and sees this. Thought he was a prick at the time, but looking back on it it was freaking hilarious. More so because of Prohm and his awkwardness than the players. They didn't deserve to hear that comment.

 

[Ben4Cy]

He also had an insane block at the end of that Purdue game where he came flying in out of nowhere a-la Lebron in the playoffs. I think it's at the end of the highlight video on youtube (sorry cant link). It was jaw dropping how quick he covered ground for his build
