    Got to play some cards with Rafer "Skip" Alston. Super nice as a person. Solid card player.

    As a rando question - I did ask about his favorite NBA coach. Mentioned that he loved JVG, and Rick Adelman - BUT his favorite was Lenny Wilkins!

    On New Years Eve in 2009, my gf and I just had dinner at the Aquarium in downtown. As we were leaving, I looked to the left at the waiting couches and saw Scola with his wife and toddler. I shook his hand and asked how the new year's eve game went, asked if he got his double double. He was very humble about it.

    And around 2014, gf and I were at Trader Joes on Shepherd. Saw Kevin McHale in an aisle alone. Said "hi, coach" and waved. He waved back.
