35th ANNUAL Big Mac CLASSIC a wrap...and it was the FISH that SAVED the UNITED CENTER...Bazz MUHAMMED #15...WEST 106-102 victory

When the BEST meet on one floor to decide who is the BEST...the BEST is suppose to RISE UP like no other. Bishop Gorman High School's by way of SIN CITY SF Sha-BAZZ MUHAMMED came out the gate swinging. With an array of DUNKS and RIM RUNS to the point the EAST from the jump had no shot in this one.

The WEST led by BAZZ's 21 points won 106-102 and DUKE recruit ra-SHEED Sulaimon added 18 and he was shooting from the WILLIS Tower formerly known as the SEARS Tower.

The BOYS and I with all the kids viewed this one from the cheap seats but very entertaining nonetheless. Anytime you get Cash Money from MAYWOOD, Bishop BEALE STREET with a Peppermint Twist, 1906 via Macomb Illinois, and 1914 via the HILL AAMU Huntsville Alabama together... it could be one. The McDonald's game though was rated E...for everyone.

As for the EAST they were led by of course 2 early signees from Coach CALIPARI and UK WILDCATS in ARKANSAS Sniper Archie GOODWIN and Tennessee RIVER BANDIT Alex POYTHRESS. They both slashed and dashed their way to 14 and 19 points respectively.

There were a host of PLAYERS that stood out and make NO MISTAKE about it ALL these young student-athletes are impact guys one way or another as they are the CREAM of the CROP on the SCHOLASTIC Level.

The 2 Student-Athletes....the aforementioned BAZZ MUHAMMAD and St. Anthony's NJ FRIAR Kyle ANDERSON and his versatile game. He didn't hit the STAT sheet but if you were in attendance it was the ability at 6'8" and 215 el bees to run the 1-4 and likewise on the defensive end. He was a BEAST in the OPEN FLOOR with the ORANGE in his hand.

NC STATE's Sniper Rodney PURVIS also looked like Coach Mark GOTTFRIED will have to pencil him in right away in Raleigh-Durham as he showed a variety of parts to his tool box.

Overall it was an impressive night at the home of the WEST SIDE  STORY Report and the 35th Annual McD's Classic will be known as the coming out party for the FISH that SAVED...WHO?...KENTUCKY, DUKE, or UCLA....BAZZ Muhammad.
