Remembering Drazen's Competitiveness

"It's as sweet as it ever was, I'll tell you. Now, hopefully, we started something and we can win some more championships, but we're going to enjoy this one right now. Have a little champagne." --Julius Erving, May 12, 1976, ABA champion Nets locker room.

RIP Petro

My favorite player of all time. I was 12 when he passed away. One can only wonder how great he could have been. My favorite memory was when he and MJ were going back and forth in the 92 Olympics. Petro definitely was holding his own against the GOAT. He played with no fear. You want the definition of ultimate swag? That was Drazen.
