    RIP, he was a great basketball guy. Too bad the media is obsessed with some crazy owner and something he said behind closed doors. This man should be honored at game 5.

    Oh no. I remember watching his tapes back in the 90s and looking up to him. I do not know much about his career but he was a passionate teacher with a lot of knowledge.aRIP

    His Blazers squads back in the 70s were the first NBA teams I rooted for. In more recent years, loved his radio broadcasts with Jim Durham.

    Very sad when he announced the cancer last year.

    I want to take this sad opportunity to let the record show I almost completely agree with you, rudan.

    Dr. Jack passing is a very, very sad and momentous day for the NBA. Think of the longevity and impact of his career? How many people his age could stay relevant in a broadcast booth to much younger generations? He accomplished this with ease and kept teaching basketball the whole time.

    A very recent video about his life!

    I'd like to hear Bill Walton's take on the Dr, today, to compare to his take on John Wooden.

    and for the record, Bill Walton and Ramsey swept the Jabbar-led Lakers (MVP of the league) in the WCF that year. 4-0

    The NBA has lost a true icon & a class act. He will be missed. He & his family & friends will be in my prayers.

    That was great as was beating the star-studded 76ers in the Finals. Dr. J played like a monster and I felt sorry for him, but I wanted the Blazers to pull the upset.

    I can't remember such a dominant player ever losing in the Finals. He was better than any two other players on either side.

    I'm gonna miss him. I listened to him all the time on the radio and he was so fantastic. He lost his wife recently so I guess they'll be together again. What a great basketball mind.

    Count down until some jackass adds him to the blue hair list of Rick Adelman and George Karl as a possible "upgrade" to McHale.
