WRIGHT MAKES CLAIM, HISTORY

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- The score of the Peach Jam final was incidental. For the record, the Illinois Warriors beat BABC 78-46 in the championship game.
But the real story here was Julian Wright. Rather than jump right into describing his play, let's first allow our conclusions to do the talking:
1) His play this week was the best of any player from the Class of 2005 at a national event. Ever. And period. 2) In five years of covering the Peach Jam, we've never seen anyone so dominant. 3) His performance was the best we've seen from any player, at any event, since Darius Washington at the 2002 Big Time Invitational.
****************
Sure, but he also was the best passer on the floor in both games, and that includes guys like teammates Justin Dentmon and Jon Scheyer, plus UNC-bound guard Marcus Ginyard.

Generally, we hold off for our dunk of the day until the end of the column. However, the ridiculous smash thrown down by Julian Wright deserves top billing. The ultra athletic 6-7 winger for the Illinois Warriors filled the left lane on a delayed break and fielded a pass from Mickey Perry. At that point, Wright went up for a 360 degree dunk in traffic. The fact that he finished the jam -- with two hands mind you -- in such tight space was impressive enough. Add to it that Wright was actually hammered by a defender and turned it into a "and 1" situation and the dunk becomes borderline unbelievable.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm just a caveman. I fell on some ice and was later thawed by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me! When I see my image on the security camera at the country club, I wonder, are they stealing my soul? I get so upset, I hop out of my Range Rover and run across the fairway to the clubhouse, where I get Carlos to make me one of those martinis he's so famous for, to soothe my primitive caveman brain. But whatever world you're from, I do know one thing: in the 20 years from March 22, 1972, when he first ordered that extra nicotine be put into his product, until February 25, 1992, when he issued an interoffice memorandum stopping the addition of that nicotine, my client was legally insane.
