Wow, so much to get to, and the questions over the last week were great. In fact, so many that we are going to try to keep our answers to a couple of paragraphs so we can in as many as possible.
Deal? Deal.
First, our business.
Rushmore of NBA Sixth Mans — Bobby Jones in Philly, Jamal Crawford in a slew of places, Robert “Big Shot Bob” Horry, and Manu Ginobili. (There were a lot of Six Man Award winners that spent most of their careers as starters.) Honorable mentions to Michael Cooper and Vinnie “The Microwave” Johnson.
Rushmore of 44 — Aaron, Reggie (if for no other reason than my on encounter with Mr. October, and because he has a boss sauce nickname), Jerry West, who was Pop’s favorite all-time basketball player and Pistol. Honorable mention to the 44 Magnum, the Sonic Route 44 treat that Smilin’ Chuck referenced on the comments and Jim Brown and the history of 44 at Syracuse.
