Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 2929851, member: 966"] I always thought Billy Owens' worst enemy was his own 'niceness.' I kinda identified with him—when i played as a kid, i overthought, and definitely had too much of a conscience. Missed a shot, felt i was letting my team down, and it affected my confidence far more than it should have. Billy was better than he knew he was, and if he had really had that 'shooter's mentality,' he would have produced even more than he did, which was still a pretty special career. I remember going to Bugsy's, and seeing some townie walk up to Billy, and then just chat his ear off for 20 minutes, and Billy was just extraordinarily polite and conversed with him. And i know DC would have scowled, glared a hole in the townie's head and walked away without speaking. [/QUOTE]
