J.R. Giddens says there hasn’t been many days in the past year that have gone by when he hasn’t been asked about or thought about that day last summer in Wichita, Kansas.
Up 23 points in the third quarter on the Stillwater Stars, Giddens and the UNM Lobo alumni squad The Enchantment saw their lead – and any chance at winning the $1 million winner-take-all top prize in the annual The Basketball Tournament – slip away.
“The way that the game ended last year, you know, it left a bad taste in my mouth,” Giddens said on Wednesday.
