“I have the mimeographed stat sheet of Bill Bradley’s last game at Dillon Gym. It’s faded but significant to me because I outscored him, even though we lost. I was happy to see him go and I knew he couldn’t guard me any better than I could guard him. It was 1965. Later on there is a picture of him making a 15-foot hook shot over my outstretched arm in his book“A Kobe jersey that was signed – my father got it for me.

His son was there in Hershey, too, a sophomore at Northeast High School, when Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in 1962.

So, holding my hand upright, I walked the three blocks to my house on Felton Street. It was a hot day and my father was sleeping on the couch watching the Phillies/Cubs at the same time. When I told him I think I better go to the doctor he said ‘OK…after the game’.
