I am sick to hear that he had to sell all his trophies and award because NBA is not taking care of the players played before 1965

    Nice to see basketball taking care of the man they owe the entire league to by giving him a 250.00 a week pension. Every player should have donated at least 5% of his salary for making the league possible...
