Great piece about a great man.

Each Warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on important acts he touches. This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute to the solution of the hardest problems, no matter how vexing!

After four good seasons in Miami, Brian was traded to the Lakers in 2004 as part of the deal for Shaquille O’Neal. A bone-on-bone knee condition forced him to retire two years later.

Good thing we don't have to worry about that in Portland.

Honestly one of the nicest and most genuine guys I ever met. I was so sad to hear that he had parkinsons.
