I've met Mr Attles and he treated me the same as he would anyone. How do I know that? After 54 yrs on this planet you can tell who's bs and who's not. I met him in my 30's after winning a radio contest and he wasn't overly friendly which I liked he just looked me in the eyes and welcomed me. I was almost over whelmed to meet him and wish I would've talked to him more but that was my problem not his
@RICK24BARRY 1981 NBA Finals, CBS analyst, Rick Barry made a controversial comment when CBS displayed an old photo of African-American colleague Bill Russell, and Barry joked that "it looks like some fool over there with that big watermelon grin". Barry later apologized for the comment, claiming that he did not realize that a reference to watermelons would have racial overtones. CBS did not renew Barry's employment for the subsequent season.
@geocgeo That went a bit too far yes a agree with you on that but they were friends still after that i have many other games barry broadcasted the 1986 All star Weekend with Bill Russell plus a game in Portland blazers indiana Barry and Russell braodcasted that game too.. So it was not really a big of a deal.. THE MAN IS A FUCKING LEGEND.. Ofcourse he sayd that he didnt have many friends he always threw a punch on the court willing to get a victory..
Dumb question: Is KC Jones in the NBA Hall of Fame as a coach? I know he in i think as a player during the Bill Russell era.
If not then Kc should be in. Especially winning the 1984 and 86 NBA titles with Larry Bird as Celtics coach. If Lenny Wilkins is in the HOF as a coach why not KC Jones?
I do agree that the Warriors upset of the then Bullets is underrated among biggest upset in pro team sports history. It still biggest in NBA championship history.
