One of my favorite players as a youth and his biography “Foul!” was one of my favorite books as a youth. RIP. What a player! What talent!

I did see both of them play on person, but the Hawk was in the Elgin Baylor, Julius Erving mold and Cap was the epitome of a big. They didn't exactly have "positionless" basketball back then, but the Hawk could do it all! He was long, with bit mitts and had tremendous footwork. Yeah, I should download that book on my Nook because I no longer have it. I still use an expression from the book because at one point a bunch of his friends were in teh care and one of them let out a "booming salvo" that stunk up the car. I use that expression to this day. RIP to an all-time great!
