Got to the point that he knew me, as we were both taller than most and I would go out of my way to walk over and talk.
Never passed the dutchie his way, I'm sure any of that was done out of the public eye...that was one of the traits of old school basketball players, comport yourself like a role model when in public.

NBA =

I used to follow the NBA, especially the Bullets, in the days of Wes Unseld, Elvin Hayes, and Bobby Dandridge. Then I got to the point where I would only watch the playoffs because the regular season games had no intensity. Then even the playoff games got old. Their talent level is off the charts, but there is too much BS. I'd rather watch a baseball game or an NHL playoff game.

I don't doubt it. Pot in the NBA is banned. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. Back in the day they were smart enough to handle themselves with discretion. Except for Rodman, maybe.

I still have to laugh when I hear the term"professional sports" These are games I played as a child and we certainly played them with more character and professionalism than the so called 'professionals'. And we did not even have referees to hold as accountable. Professional my eye hole.
