My Take
Digging into Johnny Neumann, I found a genuinely gifted scorer. A 6'6" Memphis native, he was named Southeastern Conference Player of the Year at Ole Miss, a prolific shooting guard and small forward who later turned to coaching. Even the throwback nickname "Johnny Reb" carries a certain old-school flavor. His passing in 2019 at 67 lends his story a wistful edge for me. When I picture the shine he must have put on the floor in his prime, I feel a quiet melancholy. He was clearly a real talent, and that kind of skill deserves to be remembered.
