I hope history remembers him fondly, not only as one of the best, if not the best, executives in the league's history but also as a player. He was 12x All-NBA, 10x First Team All-NBA, 5x All-Defense, and averaged 27/6/7 for his career. He was HIM. We all have recency bias to some degree, but he had a great career.

He seemed authentic and sincere, and he went out of his way to show support for some of the newer generations.

He will be missed.

RIP
