Reading the article about overrated/underrated players @
http://www.sportingnews.com/magazine/articles/19990127/137264.html
and saw this little gem from the obviously high Tommy Heinsohn:

Wallace plays hard every night? Let that be a lesson to all you kids out
there. Next time you see Tommy on tv, just think to yourselves, "He
should've JUST SAID NO!"
