    Man, I remember him from the Championship season squaring off against Maurice Lucas. Both gone way too soon.

    A fan favorite. Seemed like a really good guy.

    He was playing when I was in high school. It's hard to believe he was only 3 years older than me.

    That was the greatest Blazer game in history! Better than game 6!

    Tragic loss. Dawkins brought a level of coolness to the game that you still find in the NBA today. Those Philly teams of the late 70's have some great stories.

    You're still around. There's plenty of hope for me.

    I will always have my looks to support me. You will always have the goodwill generated from your OT posts. Let us agree herewith to live at the same nursing home.
