I lived to play basketball. Growing up as a kid, Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics were my favorite team. The way they played, the teamwork, the sacrifice, the commitment, the joy, the camaraderie, the relationship with the fans.

Patrick Ewing used to be much better in every aspect of the game.

Greg Ostertag is one of the top centers on this planet!
