I'm saddened to hear about the passing of Hot Rod Hundley. I was lucky enough to meet him twice. I told him I greatly admired the way he'd call a game with such detailed description that I always knew where the ball was & what was happening on the court. As someone who can't see that made a huge impact on my following of the Utah Jazz. He could make a game exciting no matter the score. I figured if Hots could keep calling blowout game then I could keep listening (on the edge of my seat I might add). I'd always take a radio to the Delta Center so I could hear the game unfold through his eyes as I'd hold a monocular up to mine. Hots not only signed my Stockton & Malone ball (which I will treasure forever), but he let me wear his NBA championship ring!
Thanks for the memories on & off the court Rod. You gotta love it baby! -your buddy Steven
