Sir Robin Of Camelot
You seem angry. Miserable, even.
The fact that there isn’t already a thread dedicated to this man is a crying damn shame. One I intend to correct.
Another Connie Hawkins story. My aunts who were long time Suns season ticket holders told me this one.
Wilt Chamberlain was a notoriously horrible free throw shooter. The Lakers were in Phoenix to play the Suns. Before the game, Wilt was out practicing free throws.
Hawk comes out on the court to get a little shooting session in and sees Wilt working on his free throws. So, Hawk being Hawk...he goes over and starts helping Wilt with his shot.
Wilt proceeds to go something like 13-15 from the line that night.
My aunts said that the fans who were there early and saw it, couldn't even get mad at him because they all loved him so much.
