RIP.

Wasn't around when he was a player, just remembered him as coach and broadcaster.

Great player. Tough, rugged, and smart. A winner.

Tommie bled green. RIP

[chajin]

He didn’t live long enough to see President Biden. (/s)

Seriously, RIP, from the time when pro basketball was a good pastime.

Another COVID death.

Always liked him. I can’t imagine he would have been on board with this woke BS, although one can never tell nowadays.

What a great quote in the article from a 2016 Heinsohn interview: “Well, Mike [Gorman] put it best. There’s a generation – it’s an old generation, my friend, but it’s a generation! – that remembers me best as a player. There’s a generation that remembers me best as a coach. There’s a generation that thinks of me as a broadcaster. And kids, they think I’m Shrek! I’ll tell you what, I’ll take all of it!

I can hear that in the Tom Heinsohn voice:) RIP to a Celtic legend.

[bramps]

A life well lived.

I was a Knick fan before the kneeling, but I always like the way he played. RIP Tommy, RIP.

Saw he, Cousy and Russell against West, Baylor, Hot Rod Hundley and Rudy LaRusso at the Sports Arena in 1961. Tommy really knew how to effectively use his bulk to his advantage. My first exposure to the concept that the refs can’t call all of the fouls in a physical game because you would have no game. The refs would become the focus. Kind of like now ie you can’t worry about small scale ballot stuffing because it’s not enough to affect the outcome. Well maybe not singularily hut when it becomes widespread, yes it does affect the outcome.

The NBA lost a great gentleman. Prayers to his family.
