It was odd, that a lot of the guys spoke of how mad Norm was that he didn't get "his money", he didn't get "his night" etc. One person even mentioned that he was hurt that Bob Love had his number retired, yet he was the one who gave him the ball. Then they spoke of the time he wanted to get a second technical foul, to get kicked out of the game, so he could go to a stones concert(????) Boy, with that selfish attitude, he would have fit in fine in todays NBA.
All in all, a sad, and at the same time, a very strange day on WMVP. After 4 hours of Norm, I can only shudder to think of what will happen should Da Coach leave us. Will they shut down the radio industry? A national day of mourning? Lord help us all....RIP Norm
Nice post Sarge but I feel Van Lier's number should've been retired years ago. It's not like we're talking about Dennis Hopson here.
Just think it would be great for players and fans of that player, to see that number go up and enjoy seeing #2 hanging from the rafters. If the Bulls do it now, they're a day late and a dollar short.
