You beat me to it

Phil is a guy who does indeed "get it."


"The death of Red Klotz on Saturday at 93 re-aggravated those who long advocated his inclusion in the Basketball Hall of Fame.

As a sharp-shooting 5-foot-7 NBA player, then a coach/mentor and team owner - his Washington Generals dutifully and beautifully played their roles as victims of the Harlem Globetrotters. Klotz gave 75 years to all things basketball.

"He was special. did so much to promote the game,..." Marv Albert said.

Yet the Hall of Fame, which two years ago inducted Nike Premier Phil Knight (Follow the money!) had no room for Louis "Red" Klotz."

Yup...a sneaker salesmen goes in ahead of a guy who devoted his life to promoting the game...and did a fine job of it.
