taunting him all game and the Celts were beating the 76'ers bad. After
humiliating him on one play, Larry ran by the then coach of the sixers and
said, within Erving's listening range, "Better pull him, the old man can't

I remember L.B. apologizing for this incident. He said he really should not
have trash talked such a legend on the down side of his career.
