Georgia Gwizzlies News Release
Macon, GA. The ABA Georgia Gwizzlies today announced the signing of leaping phenom and former Kentucky High School Mr. Basketball candidate 6'5" Kevin Reinhardt. The Kentucky native is also known for his strong defense and sharp shooting skills.
The 42 inch vertical leap Reinhardt will jump center on the opening tip-off at each Gwizzlies ballgame. "I am reminded of my friend Dennis Johnson (rest his soul) who at 6'4" used to jump center against seven footers because of his great leaping ability," said Embry Malone. "We see the same thing in Kevin. He will be an exciting player when we open camp in November." For more information, visit www.gwizzliesbasketball.com or visit www.abalive.com.
