Getting your player ready...
The last guy you would expect to see on skates is 7-feet-2, nearly 300 pounds, bakes cakes, has a crew cut and a Texas twang and still believes he can play in the NBA. On most Wednesday nights, Greg Ostertag can be found in the Ice Den in Scottsdale, Ariz., playing forward in a no-checking men’s hockey league. “I had a hat trick,” he said of a recent game. “I go out and play hard. We try to win.” Hockey was his childhood love in Duncanville, Texas, before he grew into basketball, and before retiring three years ago after 11 years in the NBA. “I know I can still play,” Ostertag said.
