Melvin Sanders

Hadn't thought about him in awhile.

Gottlieb was talking NFL playoffs & talking about the Titans. Didn't realize that Melvin Sanders is Derrick Henry's personal trainer.

One of my favorite players. Guy could dunk with the best of them.

And play defense with the best on the other end.

I remember wondering who was going to be the next high flyer to send GIA into a frenzy with consistent run throughs for dunks after Mason left. Then I saw us open the 2000 season against UMKC at the Maybee Center and I immediately knew that role would become Melvin Sanders’.

As a PT, he also trained Kenyon Martin, Dak Prescott

He shoulda worked a little harder on Dak's shins.

I would have liked to see Melvin play linebacker. I also always thought Terry Collins would have made a hell of a wide receiver.

Or Byron Houston as . . . . .

. . . anything he wanted to be.

Melvin was a physical specimen. He was a 7' high jumper in high school. He was crazy fast, super quick laterally and was strong at the same time. His first year it seemed like he couldn't shoot or dribble but man could he defend. Lots of steals and dunks. Got to where he could make the catch and shoot shot before he left.

Nice to see him doing well past basketball. I remember reading an article about him training Dak during his rookie year and the hours he was putting in for his job.
