What a guy, Larry Winter is the President of the Atlanta Sports Hall of Fame…started in five years ago and was kind enough to ask me to be a part of the Advisory board. In his first year he inducted such Atlanta Sports notables as Dominique Wilkins, Hank Aaron, Tommy Nobis, Evander Holyfield, and Wyomia Tyus…taking this photo at the Atlanta Touchdown Club annual golf tournament was an honor for me.

How fitting that I run into former Los Angeles Lakers (Mr durability) this weekend in the Atlanta airport especially because of the matchup this year in the NBA Finals between the Lakers and the Celtics… AC Green played more consecutive games than any other player in the history of the NBA.
