If you can't find it, trust everything they say is true.

I don't think it's any exaggeration at all to say that he


Dec 19, 2015, 7:57 PM

was on the same level as Michael Jordan. In fact, I don't think there is any doubt that he was better as a freshman than MJ was as a freshman. He could dribble, pass, and score. He could hit the long range jumper with a defender in his face, and he could hit the pull up jumper, and he could drive and take it all the way to the basket, and he instinctively knew which one to do and when to do it. He made it all look easy.

They are right to rave. Skip was unbelievable to watch. Left after 1 year to sign with the Baltimore Claws. The Claws folded and Skip eventually played for a prison team.

I wish I could bring it back for you but there were no recording devices like we have today.
I can still picture him in my mind and he was awesome whether dribbling or shooting. He was a Hot Dog but really, really good.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I don't think they had video back then. If so, your best bet


Dec 19, 2015, 6:45 PM

is probably footage of the 2 nba games that he played for San Antonio.

He had a unique shooting style. He would #### his head left

slightly and load the shot in the void, but it was silky smooth.

I had hoped Dunbar High School might have made a movie but cannot find anything.

hands on jump shots to. Kind of like he knew it was going in the hoop.

All the posts here are accurate. Unfortunately, you are not likely to find any video. A friend and I have searched tirelessly to find something from his time at Clemson. Found nothing. He was an unbelievable talent with confidence. Best I ve ever seen. Had the "it" factor and backed it up with his performance. Too bad he ended up in trouble. At that same time...Clemson was very close to getting Moses Malone. Can you imagine that!. Tate's Locke was quite the recruiter. Unfortunately, things didn't work out.

He shot with elbows out and brought the ball almost

behind his head, which made it very difficult to block. And you are right - he was silky smooth.

One of the TV networks did a special on him. He was a Street legend in Baltimore. May have been ESPN. May can find info there.

I think he was the first freshman to make all ACC. He was a freshman at the same time that Phil Ford was at UNC and beat him out!

You are correct***

You may want to try the archives on the ACC website


Dec 19, 2015, 7:08 PM

he was the best to ever play here, not even close

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

i don't have one but...


Dec 19, 2015, 7:10 PM

I was a student then. I still say he was one of the best players of all time in the ACC. Just great to watch.

That was the best time to be in school for Clemson Basketball. Skip Wise was a freak with the basketball in his hands.

The best ever


Dec 19, 2015, 7:53 PM

I was a Junior during his one season at CU and had the opportunity to attend every home game he played. Smooth as glass and simply unstoppable. There will never be another like him.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I hate that I am obviously never going to see him


Dec 19, 2015, 8:53 PM

spent the last hour plus searching all the search engines and could only find five stories about him. But you lifers talk about him the way my dad and granddad do, GOAT regarding basketball program

S-M-O-O-T-H Best I've ever seen in college in 70+ years.***
