Sam
Bowie, was named "Lebanon's living legend" by the
Lebanon Daily News when he entered the 2,000 point career circle on
February 3, 1979 with a 51 point outburst and a Lebanon
victory over Lancaster Catholic, 100-66.
At camp Bowie asked the young players if they remembered the name of the college player drafted after him in the NBA-and as most people always remember, it was Michael Jordan. But what many people do not remember, Sam Bowie was chosen to play in the 1980 Olympics, but never had the opportunity when the United States did not participate.
It was a fun day at camp with one of the true gentleman from NBA basketball. Commissioner Stern can be proud that the NBA has had such class acts as Sam Bowie as part of the league's history.

The camp ran from Monday to Friday June 18-22 in the new Annville-Cleona Athletic Complex.
