One of the most athletic and talented Streaks in an era of great WB6 hoops. Great interview!
ReplyDeleteDon’t forget, one of the all-time best looking Streaks too! 👏
ReplyDeleteJust an all around great guy!
ReplyDeleteClay was one of the best. All aroung good guy and my friend.
ReplyDeleteClay was one of the best that played above the rim guys that I've ever seen. He had great leaping ability and I remember when he out jumped 6/10 Michael Payne of Quincy at the jump ball circle. Those were were great memories of Clay.
ReplyDeleteI shared that memory of Clay Britton out jumping Michael Payne.
DeleteIt would be great to have a picture of that jump ball!! From stories of “old-timers”, it would be great to see Al Williams and Clay Britton on the court together- guessing there would be a lot of plays above the rim!!
