Hondo played every position except center...seriously. But he probably had his best success on the early '70s teams where Don Nelson was at one forward and Silas was at the other with Jo Jo White at the point.

They got Silas from Phoenix by trading the future super star Paul Westphal BTW.

Man, that all sounds like it's from another century, when baskeball players learned the fundamentals, and fathered most of their kids with their wives ...

hey, that was another century!

P.S. I still can't remember Paul Westphal as a player. At this point, he's just another name, though one I'm familiar with as a coach. The photographic memory of my youth has faded.

I guess I am a lot older than you. ESPN2 has re-runs of the 1976 Championship once in a while. Watch it. It's great basketball!
