excerpt:
"Mary and I drove into Benjamin, Texas," Haskins recalled. "Man, there was nothing but Mesquite trees and brush and 250 people. We pulled up to where our house was and there were weeds knee high. I think that house went for about $30 a month. We got out and there was the biggest rattlesnake I'd ever seen, right in front of our porch." That was one long way from New York City and the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame press conference Haskins was to attend this morning. A long way.
