He was a staunch supporter of "a good defense is a great offense"?

There are actually a lot of retired #33s in basketball.
Larry Bird, KAJ, Patrick Ewing, Scottie Pipen...

I wonder if KAJ would be willing to sign one of our #33 jerseys?

So did any of the team sin Milwaukee name their robot Lew Alcindor?

I remember searching for this to see if we could fit in our naming scheme. We ended up going with Uptius Erving

WOW!

Wish we were going to be there. We named our robot Lew Skyhooker as a tribute to him and his sky hook.
