    Ali is real sick. Sounds like the end is near. What a horrible year it's been for famous and talented people dying.

    A true American hero.

    One of my biggest heroes as a child.

    He is missed.

    I'm going to find my copy of When We Were Kings and watch it tonight, one of my all time favorite documentaries.

    He was one of the most elite athletes as I was growing up. A true hero and set a great example for all humanity to see. He had a home in Chicago and was in the public eye there. He was clearly a very smart man, and did us all proud.

    @SlyPokerDog want to move my thread back here and merge with this one? It isn't basketball, but is surely of interest to most people.

    Oh, sorry, I didn't know there was an OT thread.

    Muhammad Ali will never be OT to me.

    The trailer of one of the best boxing documentaries of all time. Its main focus is "Rumble in The Jungle." A fight between Muhammmad Ali against George Foreman.

    He was the ultimate trash talker. He said, "I am the greatest." And he proved it.

    My mom met him twice when she was a flight attendant for Pan Am. She said he was the nicest guy, and he talked to her for 15-20 minutes on one flight. She had him on another flight and she said he wrote a little poem for a couple having their 50th anniversary and the captain read it over the loud speaker. A true gentleman out of the ring, but a fierce competitor in the ring.
