Galloway, from St. Joe's to NBA's Big Apple

NEW YORK - The play hit the highlight reels, Marv Albert providing the soundtrack: Galloway, off the pump fake, fires and HITS, that's a two-pointer. . . . Reggie Jackson went FLYING.

The TV analyst added more: "The little pirouette step-back . . ."

This play offered just a clue of how St. Joseph's graduate Langston Galloway has defied a lot of big odds to find footing in the NBA. After Galloway's routine head fake got Pistons guard Reggie Jackson high into the air, the play was already a success. Most players would have let Jackson drop into them then walk to the foul line.
