William,
I love the underdog. I hope Butler has a great year!
My favorite team besides UO Ducks, is Gonzaga. They actually PLAY basketball, which is kind of a lost art. Now most players can't shoot free throws, can't or won't rebound and dunking is their favorite thing to do.
Bill Russell and the Celtics are my favorite team of all time and Larry Bird another favorite player.
It used to be there was a BIG difference between Pro basketball and the Harlem Globetrotters.

I live in Fort Wayne Indiana the home of the Zolner Piston now Detroit Pistons. Five players lived next store so all I had to do is wave to one in the window and show by way of fingers the number of ticket I wanted at the evening game. Man those players were tall--I'd drive one to the store for groceries and his knees hit the dash with the front seat all the way back. Got to meet Bird and other players when they were in town. All work on the floor but the best of friend at get togethers after the game. BILL

Gonzaga's coach loves to flyfish.

Bill,
About 30 yrs ago I was in a foursome eating dinner at the Portland Airport. I heard someone with a funny laugh, I turned to the right and there was BILL RUSSELL!, at the bar with some of his coaching staff from the Seattle Sonics. There is MY favorite player, EVER!, and I spent the next hour trying to figure out HOW I was going to speak to him.
I failed! I didn't have the guts to approach him. I love his laugh! He was my Hero, since I played basketball for many yrs. To this day he typified a player that thought about the BIG PICTURE.
Money has removed a lot of motivation.
I'm glad to hear Gonzaga coach, Mark Few loves to flyfish. I absolutely ROARED! when they beat North Carolina!
