infofan Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Just an FYI to former Chris Mcknight fans.............. Chris is playing for Boras in Sweden. While he now goes by Christopher, hes playing pretty well, scoring 16.9 ppg in 32 minutes per game. I wonder if Phil is over there. Havent seen him in the Jar this season but perhaps with Brett back in good graces hell return. Hes always welcome! Not sure how many former Zips playing in Europe but Jimmal Ball is still at it! Hes playing in France and Drew Joyce is playing in Germany. and of course Nate Linhart whos averaging 13 pts and 6 rebounds for Erie in the NBA d league over here.

I believe Chris & Brett have an older brother who coaches basketball in England...can't remember the team. At any rate, I've missed Phil around the JAR as well. I hope to see him now that Brett is playing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Sad news ... Phil (Sr.) McKnight has cancer. It is pretty serious. Last word that I heard was that the doctors have it under control. Pray for Phil. Phil (Jr.) and his mother were at the Millikin game. If Phil is up to traveling he may be at the Ark-PB game. Please stop by and wish him well. Keep praying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipmeister Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I thought this tread was originally in the football forum because Chris is a big football fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please stop by and wish him well. Keep praying. My wife and I really like the McKnights. My Phil favorite was at BG last year when Phil and the BG fans across the floor engaged in a shout fest. It went on for some time before a loud voice from the BG side told him to shut up. Phil shouted back "you don't know me" back across the court at him. I never heard another word from the BG fans. Keep in mind that this was at BG where Akron fans were out numbered by about 40 to 1. We still laugh about it. GET WELL PHIL !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the best was when I first met Phil and his wife in Portland waiting to get in to see the Zips first NCAA Tourney appearance in 23 years. I left the earlier session before it was over because there was only 30 minutes allotted between sessions, and I wanted to be near the front of the line to get back in to see the Zips. That hour+ waiting in line sure went fast talking to the McKnights and Daryll Roberts' family. I wish Phil the best as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish more Zips fans were like the McKnight family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valpo Zip Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 The McKnights were in Vegas last week. Phil looked good. I'll be praying. To add to your list: Romeo Travis is playing in Israel and i thought J-Wood was either in Finland or Iceland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thoughts and prayers to Phil. As far as the list of former Zips still playing overseas, Derrick Tarver is still apparently playing in Lebanon (a country with an underrated hoops following).
