Pickup Hoop Conquers All
No words evoke the ’70s and whiteness better than "Robby Benson."
While Googling for a story about pickup hoops, I came across a clip of the closing credits from One on One, a movie that some folks rank among the top basketball flicks of all time. Here, Benson schools Annette O'Toole while flaunting a shaggy ’do and ballhandling skills both influenced by Pistol Pete Maravich. Warning: With Seals and Crofts providing the soundtrack, this could send viewers of a certain age into nostalgic shock.

I'm 51 -- have had 3 open heart surgeries -- and will challenge ALL COMERS to a game of one on one any time. (Okay, so I've lost a step or two... and a heart beat... but I still have the dream. Don't we all?)
Here's to th real ballplayers out there: "All the way up with a red hot poker!" Please go to Amazon.com and pre-order my book about Hollywood entitled "Who Stole the Funny?" For my 'one on one' friends, I think you guys will like the book.
Thanks, Robby

Robby:
You're not 51! Sorry to hear about the operations, but good to hear you still play. i'd accept your challenge, but i don't wanna rush my first heart surgery.i'd still let you coach me in ice skating, however. (for the unfamiliar: http://pic7.piczo.com/RobbyBensonScrapBook/?g=27640271&cr=7)
