Really? What's the Wilbert connection? Wilbert was the Titan point guard when I first started paying attention to the Titans. He was the consummate leader and floor general, with an uncanny knack for getting the ball to the right people at the right time. He was effective in the open court and in the half court set. He was much like my other favorite point guard at the time, Clyde "The Glide" Bradshaw at DePaul. I patterned my game after them, and I give them at least some of the credit for me leading the county in assists per game as a high school senior, and setting the school record for most assists in one game. I met Wilbert for the first time about five years ago at a business function. As old as I am, I was like a little kid meeting a super hero. Told him just how big a fan I was (am) and how he helped make me a lifetime Titan long before I went to college. Can you imagine Howard, Jenkins, Bass, Hogan, Wilson, etc., with a pass first floor general like McCormick on the team? Wow.
