Message: [QUOTE="DeGrozz, post: 1758536, member: 205"] I think people are making too big of a deal about this -- what went up for auction was probably less than a tenth of what he has. - The All-Star rings are from when he played in exhibition games as a retired player - The national championship ring is for a team he never played on or coached - There are high school basketball trophies - There are a bunch of alumni association awards - There are charity game trophies - etc, etc The guy was a seven time all-star, a top 50 player of all-time, had multiple first team all-NBA honors, and was mayor of a major American city. He probably has more trophies, plaques, certificates, jerseys, and rings than we could dream of. If I were him, I would have kept what was important to me, given the rest to my (grand)kids and said 'keep what you want and sell the rest'. [/QUOTE]
