The Hawk

Post by DC47 »

As a young man, nobody was treated worse than Connie Hawkins by the corrupt, racist "amateur" athletic system and then the NBA. Later his career was crippled by a serious knee injury.

But in between, he lit it up against the best. Elgin Baylor, Dr. J, Larry Bird, Karl Malone -- Hawkins was better.

I don't want to wish anybody dead, but I didn't whimper when I thought he meant Hawk Harrelson.

Yup. Damn.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
