I actually have a copy of this at home - but I found it on the internet today and figured I would post it for your viewing pleasure. Pretty cool that Nate made Sports Illustrated, but one of the last issues that MJ made the cover of while he was still playing in the NBA.

Great article here - all locals can relate, love the part when they talk about Square Donut in Terre Haute! Nate is a good guy that I have known since I was a little kid and he's always been good to me.

Even a few mentions of Lansing in this article, which makes it all the more relevant.

When Green was a sophomore, however, Roosevelt coach Greg Lansing, now an assistant at Iowa, sat Green down in his office. "He was the first person to tell me that I had a chance to reach another level in basketball," Green says. "He told me to choose a position, and he'd mold me into a player. I was always a center, but I wanted to be a point guard." Green gave up playing for Iowa United and started to improve in hoops. As a senior he averaged 18.1 points, 7.0 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game.

Loved the Square Donut. I worked at Larry Bird's Boston Connection as a night auditor for a while, and they used to deliver several trays of those donuts to the restaurant every morning. They smelled so good I could never leave without grabbing a couple.

Anyway, thanks for posting the article about Green. Nice being able to re-read it.

You know what's great about this article and how much times have changed? Their would be an all out investigation these days if you were quoted as saying something as much as someone bought me 4 donuts for a grand total of $2.50...

Really, $2.50 - does it matter that :censored: much? Heck yeah it matters, they forced this stuff down our throat while I was at state. Atleast it says something to our level of compliance, but :censored: can't a kid get a free donut on occasion.

You know why it gets sticky? (pun intended of course) because donuts turn into parking lot donuts... I think you should get it?
 
just loooooooooooooved the square donuts....lol....

too bad the place on south third street is closed.....
 
Yeah but they still have a location downtown right past Clabber Girl on Wabash - newer location in the last 4 or 5 years! I stop on my way to work some days.
