29 LONG years ago, big Lucien ‘Luc’ Longley â aka Lucky Luc, aka Cool Hands Luc, aka the Thunder from Down Under, aka Aussie Bill Russell â ripped off his XXXL snap pants & stomped onto the hardwood for the VERY FIRST TIME and made his NBA debut for the Minnesota #Timberwolves …
… in the process, becoming the first STRAYAN to EVER play in the NBA!
Playing against Dallas Mavericks, the sheer SIGHT of The Long Dance terrified the Mavs into nearly blowing the game… and caused Fat Lever to live up to his name: after a typically brutal Lucien screen, he had a scared boner that lifted him fair off the bloody court!
Sure, Big Lucien only played 4 minutes & missed both shots he took — AND had a turnover and a foul — but that was just the opening salvo & a shot across the bow of the NBA announcing to all & sundry that the Gargantuan Sandgroper was about to start chucking his rig around with a careless abandon that can usually only be found on the dance floor of the Parramatta RSL.
I mean… after all, 3x NBA Champs have gotta start somewhere… and rumor has it the dunnies in the Dallas visitor locker-rooms have never been the same after Big Luc reverse kanga’d ALL of ’em into oblivion.
Anyway, thus was a true Aussie legend born: Lucky Luc, the Thunder From Down Under, Big Bloody Lucien LONGLEY!
#Onya Big Lucien!
