Road Warrior: See WCW Superstars Shoot Hoops For Charity

By Ross Forman

Riverdale, Ga. - Mark Jindrak got game.

Kwee-Wee got guts.

The two young WCW superstars appeared in suburban Atlanta Saturday evening, playing in a charity basketball game to benefit Athletes in Motion, an organization that gives scholarships to student-athletes.

Playing on a team of fellow athletes, Jindrak stole the show, scoring his team's first six points en route to a game-high 38-point, 22-rebound evening. Meanwhile, Kwee-Wee got five points, two rebounds and "various steals," he claimed. Kwee-Wee also nailed a 3-pointer, the first shot he attempted. And during warmups, Kwee-Wee actually wore his pink outfit over his uniform; during the game, he wore knee-high orange socks.

Despite the efforts of WCW's superstars, their opposition -- a group of local and national musicians, including members of the rap group Deep South -- triumphed, 90-86.

"I was honored to help such a worthy cause. Just being a part of such an enjoyable evening was fun," Kwee-Wee said. "I want to thank all the Kwee-Wee fans who attended, especially those who chanted 'Kwee-Wee' during the introductions and then again after great plays."

During a halftime 3-point shooting contest, Kwee-Wee surprisingly nailed one of four, while Jindrak was unsuccessful in four tries. But Jindrak delivered when it really mattered -- he slammed several times during the game, each time causing an almost riotous response from the thousands in attendance.

Also playing: Atlanta Braves superstar Brian Jordan, 1989 National League Rookie of the Year Jerome Walton (Chicago Cubs) and former football sensation Billy "White Shoes" Johnson (Houston Oilers), among others. Daryl Boston, a former slugger for the Chicago White Sox, coached Jindrak and Kwee-Wee's team.
