Am watching the Noggets,
tonight, as they play the MN Timberwolves, where the coach is Kurt Rambis. My cousin, Dave Hoppen, who set all the b-ball scoring records at the Univ of Nebr, and was the Charlotte Hornets first ever pick, used to room with Rambis, when they both played with Charles Barkley and the 76'ers. Before Rambis got there, Charles called Dave, 'our token white'. Dave dislocated a knee, in Boulder, in front of us, 4 points shy of an all-time Big 8 (now Big 12) scoring record, then suffered a recurring dislocated shoulder that put him out of the NBA. Anyway, Dave told how Rambis would leave for a week trip, with 2 shirts, one coat and one pair of pants, in a small duffle, then would either stink, or borrow stuff 'til they got back. He still looks about the same.
