Mr. Toney spent today motivating middle school PE students who were running/jogging on the track at my son’s school in Gwinnett County, a suburb of Atlanta. He made quite an impression on my 6th grade son, who struggles in PE. It was wonderful to be able to show my son this article after he came home explaining that he met Mr. Toney today and telling us how he was encouraged to make it around that track! God bless Mr. Toney for taking time to work with reluctant students!

Living in Boston I still rooted for the Sixers. Andrew Toney for the short time he wasn’t injured was better than Magic, all the Celtic guards, Sydney Moncrief (Bucks), Michael Ray Richardson (Nets) etc.

I have my six year old son watch him on you tube to show his quick crossover, facing the hoop straight up, first quick step and ability to hit the banker (lost art).

Doctor J, Andrew Toney, Moses, Bobby Jones, Barkley and Clyde Drexler are my all time favorite NBA players.

I have been wondering about Andrew and was glad to find some information on this site. I like many of the other folks attending college with Toney and watched him play many of times. I alo remember the big game at USL between Houston and the Sixers. We are big fans of Toney, hear in Louisiana.

NBA Playoff Snapshot: Lone gunman almost drops Boston…

42 points, 1 rebound, 0 assist, 1 steal, 6/11 from the three-point line.

That was Ben Gordon’s line from Tuesday morning’s from Chicago’s 115-118 loss to the Boston Celtics. If not for fellow UConn alum Ray Allen channeling Jesus Shuttleswort…

a close friend of mine (1981) is a big fan of the sixers…he told me their best player was the ‘doc’…i watched them play on tv(’82 conference finals vs celtics) and disagreed…their best player was #22.

“In 1983 the puzzle was completed with the addition of Moses Malone as the 76ers would go on to a 67-14 record, with one loss in the playoffs and a three game sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers.”

That year the Sixers were 65-17 and swept the Lakers in 4 games.

I was an athletic trainer at USL when Andrew played. I wrapped a bunch of ankles, but Andrew’s were tough. I remember playing a pick up game off campus one afternoon and Andrew came in and wanted to play. He was on the other team and I was defending at low post when I glanced toward Toney at the top of the key. I turned to look at my man for a second and when I looked back toward Toney, I saw his shoes going past my face. He was so quick and athletic it was scary. I remember his team mates Ted, “Fig” and Manley. If he reads this, I hope you are doing well, because you deserve it! God Bless.
