      Grammatical Erorr - You are definitely right!! As a Knicks fan (this was before the dunk over Mark Jackson), I watched Tom Chambers effortlessly throw down a dunk against the Knicks when he was with the Clippers. I always liked Tom Chambers. I had nothing but huge respect for KJ. And Xavier McDaniel? I enjoyed watching him when he was with the Knicks for one year. But like Sonics fans, I will never forget the X-Man as a Sonic. I was never bored watching the X-Man as a Sonic.

    To fans of pro & college hoops ............................ Chris Mullin was "a legend" in the schoolyards of N.Y.C. And Chris was St. John's basketball. Like Larry Bird he wasn't swift of foot, and he wasn't a leaper. BUT he had court smarts, was a great passer, made his teammates better, and he could shoot the ball in the dark. Most importantly Chris is a good man who overcame his addiction to alcohol. Anyone who says Chris isn't deserving of being a HOF'er doesn't know the game and what Chris brought to it !
