Joey Gilletti, 51, arrived in Portland late Wednesday evening from Tulsa to compete in the 2008 AND1 Mix-Tape Tour open-run held at Memorial Coliseum on Thursday afternoon, according to HoopsWorld.

"I still have a little something left in the tank," said Gilletti.

"I'm going to make the most out of it. All I can say is ? and no disrespect meant to any other fellas ? but I hope they don't take me too lightly. They're going to find out the old man has some spunk in him. I'm hard to shake on 'D.' I don't hold and grab."
