One of the all-time greats and one of the finest gentleman I have known.

Assuming you won’t respond, and the other idiot down-voters will think you are correct.

I’ve known him since I was in high school. His son Robert had red hair, about 6-2, played basketball but was mostly just a role player. Good guy.
His daughter Peyton was real tall, her best sport was volleyball. Both Mr. Bob and his wife were at games all the time. The last time I spoke to him was in the airport years ago. He was traveling out of MSY with Peyton to go to MD Anderson.

Now don’t you feel stupid?

He was KING of the hook shot.
He used to conduct basketball clinics while walking all the way around the edge of the free throw lane (the "paint") with a basketball and shooting hook shots. His clinics usually lasted around 30 minutes.....
and he rarely, if ever, missed a shot!

He also lost his good friend and teammate in April of this year.

He was very approachable and was at most home games. He was always out and about. I didn't know him but I know a few people who did. O don't understand why you think it's impossible.

Frac is clearly a loser in life. He can not fathom how some people are fortunate enough to be educated, successful people and to get to know others who run in the same circles. Trailer trash like Frac obviously would never have the opportunity to get to know anyone other than trash like him.
