Junior Bridgeman RIP

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

Hard to believe no one has started a thread honoring Junior yet. The guy was a hell of a player and a hell of a person. He was also an extremely impressive business man, whose net worth was estimated at $1.3 Billion at his death. He mentored a great many ex NBA players after their playing days were over, including Chauncey Billups. Junior got Chauncey into the fast food franchisee game and I suspect Chauncey could live just fine without his coaching salary. Bridgeman was one of the very best examples of what an ex-player can become if they stay smart and disciplined. The world and the game of basketball lost a true winner.
