UMKC superstar waits for NBA bid
27 records set by Kangaroo's 6-foot-6 Dumas
Public recognition, something all athletes naturally crave, was his biggest cost.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As founding father of a major college basketball program, Tony Dumas paid a heavy price.
By Doug Tucker AP Sports Writer
So thoroughly did the world ignore Dumas' team, it naturally ignored Dumas and four steady-but obscure
"I know I'm probably not as well known as I might have been if I'd played at some high-profile school," said Dumas, UMKC's first and thus far only star. "But it's been fun for me. Being able to come here and score all these points and getting to play a lot,
Not that anybody was watching.
Drawing little attention outside Kansas City, the 6-foot-6 smoothie set 27 school records for career, season and single-game achievements. Starting as a sophomore, he ranked among the nation's top scorers for three straight years, including a career-best 26-point average this season that placed him No. 7 among Division I players.
that was fun. I wouldn't trade it for anything."
All Dumas can do now is wait for the June draft of the NBA, whose scouts and general managers do not ignore good athletes.
seasons with the newly created Division I program at Missouri-Kansas City.
"I don't think there's any question Tony Dumas can play," said Marty Blake, the NBA's well-known super scout. "He'll be like a lot of guys. He will have lots to learn. It will be a steady progression for him. I think Tony Dumas has a definite future in the NBA."
Dumas said, "I hope I can make it in the NBA. Somewhere. Anwhere."
Nobody knows where he might be picked.

"I've been hoping for the best, but you never can tell," said Dumis. "It's
up to the teams themselves who they want to pick. I know I can play in the NBA."
He leaves as the Kangaroos' all-time leader with 2,459 points and 576 rebounds. Other team records include most games and minutes played; 96 straight double-digit scoring games, 67 20-point games, 19 30-point games and four 40-point games; most field goals attempted, most field goals made, most free throws attempted and most free throws made.
Against Texas Tech this year he hit 16-of-16 free throws on his way to a 44-point total.
"I'd say that game was probably my college highlight," he said. "Everybody has a game like that, where
everything you want to do, you do. It's a wonderful feeling, something you experience only very rarely."
It's not only his glittering college statistics that make Dumas believe his days of obscurity may be over.
He said, "I had a feeling when I first started playing college ball that I could do it, that I could do well, because I was holding my own as a freshman against older guys, guys who had already made it in college basketball.
"I get the same feeling playing against NBA guys in summer league games. I've played against Anthony Peeler, Rex Walters and Danny Manning. I matched up pretty good with all of them."
