with Walton, thats his all timefavorite.

Lew ALcindor, as he knew him at UCLA, Willie Mays, Juan Marichal...

Catfish Hunter, Rollie Fingers, Dave Stewart, Dave Casper

actually pretty much anybody on the Raiders, Warriors, A's in the 70s and 80s...Grew up primarily in Oakland if you couldn't tell

i remember countless stories about some highly insubstantial, more than likely, encounters my father had against this man at Vincennes University in SouthernIN....made him sound so unguardable

my father passed on in November...what i wouldnt give for just one more of those stories

My pops is a huge sports fan like me, so I get to hear about all of the legends. It's a damn shame the old man is a Lakers fan

 

[lazy b]

Pete Rose, Hank Aaron, George Brett just are a few of the MLB legends that he's met and seen play in person.
George Gervin (favorite player of all time), Dr. J (at the Rucker)

Too many. Good stories though.
