RE: TIL how to blow $200 million dollars!
There is a really good documentary on him on Netflix.. Don't have much of an opinion on his personal life - but he was one hell of an athlete.
Nice post.

Thank you and yes I agree! It is almost impossible to win state titles in two sports and be named AP high school player of the year in 2 sports in the same year?! That has only been done a handful of times... ever. An incredible athlete for sure...
I went to Phili on vacation last year - they still love him. His hall of fame induction speech was very gracious - there is something genuine about him despite some of the issues hes had. As far as Basketball goes - he certainly earned his way into the hall of fame. Hes one of those guys you cant help but hope the best for.
I agree. There has always seemed something genuine about him. Like you were seeing the real him. Not many professional basketball players will cry on national television... especially not ones with the kind of gangster rep he had at the time...
