https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...-coach-broadcaster-tommy-heinsohn-dies-age-86 Rest in peace! I never was really a fan of his. He's was always very Boston/LA biased. Loved his call on the 86 WCF with the Sampson last second shot...he nailed it perfectly.
I met Tommy Heinsohn at Randy Quaid's World's Biggest Party that was held at the Astrodome complex in 1989. He was super friendly and down to earth,
that's good to hear. I had never liked his announcing b/c I was a Rockets' fan and a Sixers' fan, and he seemed so pro-Boston as to be ridiculous. But he also seemed like a decent-enough guy, separate from that, and he knew his hoops.
