[Cityofchampions33]

R.I.P. DJ.

 

"And the steal by Bird, underneath to DJ, and he lays it in."

 

He was also a Clipper coach.

Very sad. 52 is entirely too young to die. Heaven just got one hell of a point guard. RIP, DJ.

One of the greatest sports moments of all-time! One great point guard and a class act

this is a great article on DJ. Goddamn f***ing writers keeping this great player out during his life. Posthumous HOF inductions are stupid.

Show some class, man. You don't need to throw in "goddamn and f***ing" in front of writers to make your point.

 

 

RIP DJ.

Just needed to quote this.

[BoSox34]

RIP. He should've had an oppurtunity to coach in the NBA but unfortunately he'll never have the chance to.

i loved dj

the beating he gave his wife prevented him from getting a head coaching gig

the dealings with the late johnny high and the subsequent coke and point fixing allegations never have been substantiated

 

he was all world on defense

he never turned the ball over

he could drain the 3 and open 16 footer

he was a tremendous team player

 

and if the line was 8 and the celts were up 7 and dj was shooting free throws with no time on the clock this 90% free throw shooter would clang both...

i forgive everyone

i forget nothing

 

i was away when he died and didnt read any thing about it

but the radio said he weighed 370 lbs when he died??

 

you dont many old fat people

[jacksonianmarch]

he wasnt 370. He was still very thin in the pictures.

Certainly not 370.

[Mr Crunchy]

when he played in seattle he was thin and a hi flyer

with boston

he looked like he carried a little pot belly but no way does he look 370 here

 

its good to get back to civilization
