Former Oklahoma great Blake Griffin took a break from getting ready for the upcoming NBA season to spend some time in Norman this week attending Jeff Capel’s Fantasy basketball camp.
According to the Norman Transcript, the other former Sooner greats joining Griffin at the camp included: Alvan Adams, Billy Tubbs, Blake Griffin, Ebi Ere, Terry Evans, Terry Stotts, Choo Kennedy, John McCullough, Hollis Price, Longar Longar, Tim Heskett, Kevin Bookout, Al Beal, Harvey Grant.
“I’m sure, throughout the rest of the camp, I’ll sit down with the rest of the guys and talk about what they do, what they’ve learned,” Capel said in Friday’s Norman Transcript article. “It’s always interesting to talk to guys who have done what you’re trying to do.”
As for Griffin, the current L.A. Clipper did a must-read Q&A with the Tulsa World. Here is an excerpt:
Q: How cool is it to get to be around your fellow alumni?
“Very cool. Hollis, Ebi (Ere) and all of them… Growing up watching them. Ir’s awesome to see them back here and to be able to do something like this.”
Q: It’s not just players that Jeff Capel coached. This goes way back. How nice is that to see?
“That’s something that Coach Capel has always talked about, this being a place that guys can come back to and feel welcomed. Greats from the past like Alvan and all these other guys. I think it’s awesome. It’s great to have so many guys come back.”
