Does anyone smell an upset?

(1) Kevin Huerter Drafted by Atlanta Hawks

By now you know the name Kevin Huerter and that is for a multitude of reasons. First and foremost it is the impressive early career he has cut out so far in the NBA.

It was not the first time we have had this moment in the Capital Region but it certainly was one we all remember as evidenced here:

(8) Niskayuna Native Jeff Blatnick Wins Gold Medal in 1984 Olympics

Blatnick won national championships in the late 70's in NCAA Division 2 and qualified for the 1980 Olympics but the USA boycotted them so he was unable to compete in them. He got his chance in 1984 and boy did he deliver. He won the Gold in Olmympic Greco-Roman +100 kg becoming the first American to win Gold in that event along with Steve Fraser that year.
