Perhaps the first of many articles...
looking back at the 1995 season, since we are now coming up on the ten year anniversary of UCLA's last hoops championship. This piece allows us to catch up with Ed O'Bannon and get his thoughts about that magical year.
Among many other topics, the article mentions the problems Ed had with his knee, and I can definitely confirm his struggles. I saw him play at the Forum a few years ago with his ABA team (the squad also featured Toby Bailey and Jaron Rush), and his knee was definitely bothering him. It looked like it took him maybe half a quarter to get it loose to the point where he could move freely around the court. Once that happened, it was the same old Ed, running up and down the floor, being active, and hitting his trademark lefty jump hook in the lane.
