And you even got an autographed, personalized if I remember correctly, picture of your guy in a Wizards uni.
Jim, if I did I forgot. What I recall is when my ex-wife was stationed at Ft Benning; Kevin Broom had business in nearby Atlanta. Igave Kev an autographed photo of Elvin Hayes.

It's possible I forget any picture.

I was happy to be able to send that to you. It seemed like a perfect gift.

Holy shxt, Ruz -- that's awful. You'll be in my thoughts a lot. All of our thoughts.

You are the heart of this whacky bunch, my brother. Get better quick & let me/us know how I/we can help.

If you feel like you can, when you can, let us know what has transpired with you.

Love you too. For real.

You guys made me cry. Thanx for the support and take care of yourselves. Take your bp meds even if you think you're invincible.

*Especially* if you think you're invincible.

You're a smart, resourceful human being, Ruzious -- & a helluva nice guy, too. Work it, my friend; whatever you have to do. Definitely counting on you.

I'm enjoying the Lakers docudrama so far, am a little shocked that I'm on the fourth hour long episode and no actual NBA games have been played yet

Interesting thoughts from Kareem (spoilers if you haven't watched the first episode yet):

Just noticing this now.

Best wishes my friend for a full and speedy recovery. Listen to you health care providers.

My hip replacement is a week from today.

That's very good advice. Best of luck next week my friend.

Hey Ruz, be strong brother. So sorry to hear. Just made me realize I’m worried about you, and never thought I’d say that. Better days ahead.

So I had my hip replacement surgery on Monday. It went well. I went home
directly after the procedure. I guess the anesthesia hadn't worn off completely
because I felt well enough to walk, at least at a very slow pace.

Tuesday and Wednesday have sucked. Can't get comfortable.

I’m so dang excited. I just read that Rob Reiner’s getting the band back together and working on Spinal Tap 2.

One of the funniest movies ever.

What’s your favorite line/scene from the original?

I think mine is Lick my Love Pump.
In Rizzo we trust
