I still mourn his loss. I'd love to hear him talk about his college and pro career today. Fascinating guy in a lot of ways.

Growing up in Illinois we wore our socks baggy on the grade school team to be like him.

Black Elk had something to say about that.

"Death always comes out of season".

He died doing what he loved, heart attack on the basketball court, at age 38.
