    Love Hank Gathers, especially this quote:

    "I don't care much about the points. In fact, I should lead the nation in scoring because of my rebounding. Anybody can score 30 points a night if that's what he's concentrating on. But rebounding is special because it comes from the heart."

    Bias, tagged & slabbed like that was the beginning of the end for the Celtics. They'd used Henderson (he stole Worthy's pass) as trade bait and Seattle fell for it. Celtics thought they were on their way. We're going to use Bias not as anything cept a PG in the Magic mold. Uh, uh.

    Nope.

    It's akin to the Bynum trade, absolutely amazing that it happened to the Celtics and not some loser much further down the trough. It was swell watchin' that. The Celtics could do nothing, absolutely not one ing thing, but, take it.

    Hank Gathers wouldn't have been a great NBA player, IMO. Too much of a tweener. What position is a 6'7" college center going to play in the NBA? Small forward? He needed a jump shot to make the transition and he really didn't have one at Loyola Marymount. Power forward? Not sure he could have guarded power forwards at the NBA level.
