A Chance to See Antoine Joubert Play Basketball Again

Submitted by BursleyHall82 on January 28th, 2020 at 11:13 PM

Along with Michael Talley and Willie Mitchell.

Just saw this on Facebook. A whole bunch of Detroit PSL legends are getting together for a charity game on April 27. Check out some of the names of those rosters.

The Judge will be 55 in April, but OH HELL YEAH I'm going to be there.

DAMMIT! That's the flyer for last year's game. This year's game will be on April 18 at Detroit Edison Public School Academy. The rosters haven't been released yet, but I'm hoping the Judge will return.

Michael Talley and Tony Tolbert lived on my floor one year at West Quad. They played A LOT of video games, and I mean, A LOT. (Meanwhile, my roommate and I played a couple thousand games of table top hockey.)

Tolbert was one of those high school legends who never quite made it at UofM. He transferred to UofD and put up 20 and 23 ppg seasons.

Tolbert was a guy that wanted to play 30+ minutes and jack up (at least) 15-20 shots. With the Fab Five coming, that wasn't going to happen and UD gave him the opportunity to jack it up. 

Michael Talley stuck around and saw his role decrease dramatically when the Fab Five came on board. Talley was in a poli sci class of mine. He showed up to every section and participated as much as most students. He seemed to take his classes pretty seriously.

Also--am I allowed to say this??  Don't really 'get' the Kobe tribute.  For one thing, he never played college ball.  At least in the NBA the shot clock is 24 seconds, he wore number 24 and also 8...so...yeah.  But how does a 10 second midcourt violation and a 30 second shot clock violation pay tribute to Kobe? 

If the coaches felt compelled to do some sort of in-game tribute, maybe a better idea would have been to just have each team designate one guy to chuck up the first 24 shots!  Everyone else could crash the boards, and maybe we could also get some Kobe assists...

Was in high school at same time as The Judge.  Took my stoner friend down to see him at Cobo before we graduated.  He was Albanian.  His nickname Was Power Hitter.

Joubert is the head coach for Oakland Community College.  He is huge.  Saw him two years ago at a game and I’m not sure he will play much.  If I remember correctly he knees are not very good because he was limping around.  But this event will bring back some great memories of players from the PSL.  One of my favorites was Anderson Hunt.  Detroit Southwestern had some great players and I always enjoyed going to that gym and watching Watson coach them up.

I saw far more of the Judge's game than I ever needed to see when he was flaming out at Crisler.  He was far more hype than talent.  Still, this is a great event and worth seeing, if you can make it.

To be fair, it's not really his fault his game didn't translate to college. He was a 6-5 guard that wasn't very athletic. In high school he was able to get his shot off against 90% of the people he played with and that team was loaded, so it wasn't really hype when he averaged 30 pts a game in HS. My biggest memory was when they played State and Scott Skiles kept calling him fat boy and asking him why he couldn't keep up with him, as Skiles torched him.
