MONTbigBuck;2143252; said:I just realized that Jerome is the son of the" Jerome Lane" of ASVM, Pitt, and NBA fame. For his size right up there with Barkley as one of the best rebounders the NBA has seen. One of the worst FT shooters the league has seen as well. That ultimately cost him from having much career longevity. I now know where the athletic ability comes from with Jerome Jr.
HOMAGE Send it in, Jerome! tee
On January 25, 1988, longtime college basketball broadcaster Bill Raftery was calling a Big East matchup between Providence and Pitt. On a fast break three and a half minutes into the game, Pitt guard Sean Miller fed forward Jerome Lane on the right wing and Lane threw down a monstrous dunk that shattered the backboard at Fitzgerald Field House. Raftery shouted ?Send it in, Jerome!? to a Monday night ESPN audience, the game was delayed 30 minutes, and the night now lives in Pitt lore as ?The Night the House Came Down.?
