A Cut Above

From the "What The ?" Files (courtesy of Hoopsvibe's 50 Fun NBA Facts):

12. Spencer Haywood, whose Supreme Court battled paved the way for early-entry NBA players, circumcised himself as a teenager.

In that context, I suppose, challenging a professional sports league all the way to the Supreme Court doesn't seem all that incredible of a feat, now does it?

Kind of reminds me of the scene in JAWS where Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw exchange stories about their scars (this isn't the whole scene, but it's the best part). I'm guessing if Spencer Haywood had been on that boat, Quint and Hooper would have just shut up and drank some more whiskey.

Bottom line: Xavier McDaniel has now been surpassed as the toughest man in Sonic history.
