Michael Graham

More badass nutcracker than "big man." Graham protected Thompson's bigs by any means possible. Out with bad grades after a season. Fierce man.

If Michael Graham would have stayed at Georgetown. The team was bound to win 3 National Titles.

Mistakenly, Posted in another Authors Comment Forum. Aware this THREAD is old. Perhaps, I can shed more light on Michael Graham. Some friends and myself were discussing Mike Graham a couple of weeks ago. We were discussing the Grestest Players to come out of Washington D.C. Michael Graham name came up. Michael Graham in High School and College was as Great as Elgin Baylor, Dave Bing, Austin Carr, Adrian Dantley, David Robinson, Grant Hill, and Len Bias whom made their Fame and Fortune in the NBA. Only Len Bias never made it to the NBA. The 1st four Luminaries were High School All Metropolitan in Washington D.C. Innerhigh Basketball. The others mentioned are from the surrounding Maryland and Virginia Areas. I can assure you, it is easier to become an OBAMA Administration Staff Member than it is to become a two (2) or three (3) time All Metropolitan in D.C. Athletics. Michael Graham was a two time All Metropolitan Washington D.C. Innerhigh Basketball, 1982-83 http://www.dcb... Read more

good athletic big man who was key contributer to Hoyas 84 championship...could've had great career, however struggled in school and transfered rafter freshman year and went to University of District of Columbia

Never should've been admitted to Georgetown----a joke of an academic record. He ended up transferring to that academic stalwart  U of DC, where another bust ended up, Earl Jones.  However.....that's par for Georgetown's course: drastically reduce admissions standards for basketball players only, just like Johns Hopkins does for lacrosse!!!!

Michael Graham was a bit before my time, but people still talk about him with awe.  Shaved head, ferocious on the boards - I think he was a transfer from UDC.  I don't think he ever made it to the pros, but he was a big part of the Hoya Paranoia of the early / mid eighties.
