Whew, that would have been a moderating nightmare! My thought was that Scott had done all the sabremetrics on these guys and was ready for some analytical discussion But seriously, I like RP’s change as a show of leadership… being willing to adapt to make the new guy feel more welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Wiconsin's finest...Larry Petty. Lived in Madison while he played there. As he ballooned in weight over his career, the double 0's got wider and wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 I don't like any number above 15 except for 18 and 23. I'm WEIRDDDDDD about numbers. Very weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People wanted him to be a symbol that Bird never wanted to be. And I have always been a Pacers fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, that's not what he wanted to be...So I can't understand the hatred from that angle... I think #1 that was proven wrong simply by watching his play and the respect he eventually garnered with African-American players.  #2 if people really understood the Celtics (the organization itself, not the city of Boston) history relating to race they might think a lot differently... He was a small town Indiana kid that made the basketball HoF...I just can't hate that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me when I was a kid I did not know he was from Indiana. I saw Magic in the 79 finals and that was it. I became a Lakers fan and therefore had to hate everything Celtic. By the time the McDonalds commercials starting coming out and stuff like that I stated to dislike him less and by the time he retired I admired him and just how great he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
