[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1059565, member: 17953"] I feel terrible about this. Junior was the man who was in line to turn the Bucks around, make them a team to be reckoned with, if he ended up putting a consortium together. He was a good man, who used the wealth he developed to help others along the way. It was so sudden. I feel like Milwaukee lost a legend. Someone who really cared about the team, the players, the city, and the people of the city. He was one of a kind. RIP Junior. You always gave your all, on and off the court. You were one of those players that stuck around and signed them for kids all the time. I can remember once, a long time ago, going into a restaurant in the suburbs of Milwaukee with my Cousin who was a Lieutenant on the city police department, for dinner. There was just the two of us. His wife and my wife were at some kind of a party in the area. Junior was sitting at a table near us, and while he was eating, people came up and asked for autographs and he'd smile and sign them, interrupting his meal. The smile never went away. He was cordial, and nice, saying something kind to everyone. I'd been around top players for another NBA team in my work and at dinner where they were, and I never saw any of them that would sign autographs when they were eating. Junior was different. My Cousin asked if I'd like to meet him, and I told him no. I didn't want to interrupt his dinner any more than it had already been interrupted. Over the years, I've been close to a lot of professional athletes. Some are great people, others, not so much. I have a fond respect for those who treated others with dignity. They deserve respect. RIP Junior. You won't be forgotten. In addition to your number hanging in the rafters in Milwaukee, they will honor you even more. It's the least they can do. [/QUOTE]
