Article discussing Chris Dudley's ongoing fight/involvement with Diabetes.

From: The NY Daily News

Like most retired athletes, Chris Dudley still clings to what helped make him famous. But the former Net (1990-93) and Knick (1997-2000), who played for fives teams over a 16-year career, is a far cry from the down-and-out, autograph signing ex-jock strangling yesteryear to make a living.

Dudley, a Yale grad and a partner at a wealth management firm in Oregon, has been a Type 1 diabetic since high school and belongs to a very small fraternity of players to have played in the NBA with the disease. Outspoken about diabetes management, Dudley established his own foundation while playing for the Trail Blazers in 1994, and twice testified before Congress after retiring from the league in 2003 in an effort to raise funds and awareness..................
 
I've always like Duds. He's a guy who didn't have much of a skillset in the league except for outhustling other players for rebounds.
 
Love the duds. He really wants to be involved with the Blazers more IIRC, wish they'd let him in!
