I had a Junior Bridgeman growth chart poster when I was little.

He looked healthy so I’m surprised he had a heart attack. I guess we never know when it could strike someone

Was happy to see the Bucks put up a billboard to recognize him today.

I had forgotten about that. Damn. That was epic. I cannot find a photo of one now on the internet.

That is a promotion the Bucks need to rerun with Giannis.

This episode was a fantastic listen. As you look back on those Nelson teams you realize how smart those guys were on and off the court. It really was a special, special group of men. My heroes growing up. I so wish they could have gotten a title.

Bonus: there is a very interesting easter egg in the pod related to things that Junior was up to. Makes me sad he couldn’t continue that endeavor.
