I became an NBA fan in large part because of him in the 90s at the tail end of his career playing for the Hawks

His commercial blocking the cereal is one of the best of all time

Damn, I remember he played some damn good ball for us in the 01-02 season helping us get to the finals. Played well against Shaq too in the finals.
