May my all time first team shooting guard rest in peace knowing he paved the way for defining greatness on the hardwood, excellence in the front office and living life his way. Jerry is one of one and claims the right to be the logo forever. My condolences to his family.

I like my current car better than the one I drove in high school. I luv my laptop more than my Smith Corona typewriter from college. But ya’ know what will never change? Doctor J is still my favorite basketball player of all time. @JuliusErving I’ll just saying ... 🏀
