I remember his final college game. Unbelievable talent.
I write fictional stories in my spare time. So don't fact check me. Better?
The foot injury really prevented him from dominating the NBA for years.Originally Posted by Nick
The year with Portland was special, too.
He might have been the best college basketball player of all time.
Points
Rebounds
Assists
Defense
He did it all. He was near the best, if not the very best, at his position in all for categories.

RIP. One of the funniest announcers I’ve ever listened too
RIP Big Red
The King of TalkSox has Spoken.
Loved his calls when he was doing Clippers games when they were at their worst. It was very hard to make a serious comment concerning them, and he rarely did!
"Fans have become more entitled than anything. So they're starting to question our motives for the game, or how we approach the game. The ones that do question -- like who are you? Just shut up and watch the game tonight." --Kevin Durant on players' lack of effort in regular season games.
A good guy, first and foremost.
Genuine.
Smart.
Funny.
During his best 3 year stretch in the NBA, he never played more than 65 games, which was a shame. He did put up these numbers, in those 3 years (age 23-25)
18.0 PPG
13.7 Rebounds (led league once)
4.3 Assists (among the best by a center in any 3 year span.)
2.5 Blocks
1.0 Steals
Per 100 possessions:
~24 PPG
~18 RPG
~6 APG
~3.5 Blocks and 1.5 Steals per game
1977 Playoffs:
18.2 PPG
15.2 RPG
5.5 APG
3.4 BLKPG
1.1 SPG
Of course, the numbers do not tell the whole story on this guy. He transcended the game, itself.
