I'm actually surprised he's that young. I thought he'd be older

When I was a kid, a local sports shop had his shoe hanging up -- that baw had monster feet. Apparently, it was a size 22. RIP.

RIP Bob Lanier

My lasting memory of him was from the first year of the Jazz. The Jazz was playing his team at the Municipal Auditorium and we had seats near the court. The refs made a terrible call against the Jazz and the crowd went ballistic. My friend who was sitting next to me acted like an arse and threw a cup of ice on the floor that hit Bob Lanier. Fortunately for my friend he was grabbed by the police before Bob Lanier could get to him.

The hell I don't! LISTEN, KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!
