Even in defeat, his spirit was more unyielding than a basketball rebounding off the rim! Alas, the universe had other plans, but boy, did Reggie give the basketball gods a high-flying show they’ll never forget! Cried the fans: “From Larry to Reggie,” because legends, dear reader, are eternal, and their stories light up scoreboards in the sky!
