Mcclendon's Break

Streaking, dashing, breaking away Up, up the tempo the McClendon way Getting wide and filling the lanes Assisting the open man with two points to gain Upbeat, back and forth, fast, and then faster Sitting and watching, a spectator's delight, as they witness a creation by the 'Flow Master' Yes! Breaking away the McClendon way Away from stereotypes and public naivety Dark skin was a 'NO' for many like the likes of Duke, Georgetown, Temple, and St. Johns But Morehouse, Fisk, Howard, and other HBCUs were an emphatic 'YES' for 'McClendons' The likes of Bob Love, Cleo Hill, Oscar Butler, The Pearl, Sam Jones, John Chaney, Harold Hunter and so many more O' McClendon's Break, history indeed, now 'Black Magic' at HBCUs is the heretofore McClendon's Break extended far beyond 94 feet His astounding 4 W's made playing that much more sweet The Who, What, Why, and Where McClendon's Break, oh so rare
