Always loved Dave Bing when he was a player.

Back in the days when some NBA players actually had more morals than money.

As an all star he only made some $20,000 a year back then. He went to the bank for a home loan and they didn't give it to him. Instead of playing the victim, he got a job with the bank in the off season and earned the money to buy a home. He was also given a minority business award by Ronald Reagan.
