    What a life he had. He saw the Dead in Egypt in 1978 and went on a private cruise of the Nile afterwards with the band.

    He was legendary man because of his personality. But as player. He was just average NBA player. Just look his statistics numbers. Not that great. Because of his personality He got all popularity. Numbers don't laying.

    What I find most appealing about this man is that he's like the ultimate fan of the game with his commentary but then u realize he was also a big part of the game and it leaves you more in awe of him. His style, openess, happy going friendliness is what made him one of most special people of our generation. Definitely one of a kind.
