I am sorry to hear that, my prayers are with his family.

He lived such a great life. Harvard grad, 2 time cancer survivor, talk show host, best Magic fan ever, the list goes on..

Wow, and all I thought was that he was a firey old man.

It would be cool if Orlando honored him by putting out sweater vest for everyone to wear. :)

For anyone who wasn't at the game.. They honored him during the second quarter, showed clips/pictures of him and his interview after winning the fan award.

Rest In Peace sir... Thanks to those that shared some of his story with us, and I think we can all agree that renaming the thread in his honor is a great idea

I noticed the tribute they did to him tonight on the Fox Sports coverage, thought that was a really classy move by the team. People like Sweater Vest Guy are what sports are all about. What a legend. RIP mate.

I believe I did.

EDIT: looking at the thread Adam posted, looks like it was a colab between us. Glad it has stuck around.

Very sad. Was just wondering about Jack the other day. Didn't seem to be seeing him at the games.

Is there a reason they stopped showing him during the games? Different seats? A request from him or his family?
