      Doc was my favorite player as a child. He would make it difficult to get his autograph. He would go through one door and leave out through another to duck the autograph seekers. I caught him talking to a pretty lady, and I walked up to him for the 5th or 6th time that evening. He didn't want to give me the autograph, but she told him to, and he did. When he looked at the program that had his picture on it and all his teammates had signed it as well as some opponents, he was surprised and made a statement like wow you got everybody. I said yes. Then he shook my hand and said, "That's great. Just running around the arena and trying to find him made it worthwhile . I think his teammates even helped me after signing their autographs by telling me where to go to find him. They would point and say he's down there, and I would run to the other location he would be there and refuse to sign . I learned a lesson about being persistent and polite. Finally, I got his autograph, and I still have that piece of memobralia.

    Kareem came from a different time than us if he would have been like Magic And Bird Jordan he would be so loved today. But I'd like the fact that he was serious in his time because I'd owe him Ali and Jim Brown how to talk and take myself serious Back then skinning and grinning wasn't the way to go
    We had to be kind of standoffish but to this day he'd still my Goat. But it is good to see him smile and laugh now.❤

      Take out Jim Brown and add Bill Russell, Jim Brown was lowkey a horrible guy that was that seriously abused black women.
      The rest of your post I completely agree with, I love that Kareem was who he was at the time he came out.
