Someone called him the best player ever from the ankles up (this was pre-MJ, and I don't want to get into that), and he comes across pretty well in Halberstam's book about the '78 Blazers.
OK, I recognize that I'm deep into ancient basketball history at this point.

I almost said this twice today. You can't hate him as a player, but you must hate him as an announcer. I think that's what they mean.
