Re: Tiny followup

I found Larry's comment about Tiny in his recent book, "Bird Watching"
interesting.   Quote, "When I was with the Celtics, the guy that I could
never figure out was Tiny Archibald.  He was a terrific payer, but from one
practice to the next you never knew what you were going to get from him in
terms of his personality.  When Tiny was in a real good mood, we'd all say,
"Hey, let's live it up!  Tiny is happy today."  And when he wasn't, we just
tried to get through that practice and get out of there."

BTW, I thoroughly enjoyed reading his book.  It really opened my eyes to
what really happens behind the scences that we never see.
