Message: [QUOTE="PeteCalvin, post: 5096695, member: 439"] Hop is unquestionably one of the most gracious human beings out there. He visited a friend of mine, a huge SU hoops fan, in the hospital when he was dying of cancer. He spent well over an hour with him just shooting the bull. He brought all kinds of SU swag and autographed goodies. My friend died about a week later, and at the wake his casket was covered with all the stuff Hop had brought to him. His wife said she had never seen him so happy when it was just he and Hop talking about anything and everything. Hop was in the hospital at night, away from his family, and spending his time cheering up a stranger who just loved SU Basketball. I have never had the chance to thank Mike in person for that gesture, although I spoke to him many times before that time when my son attended his basketball academy. He is a gem of a person and someone I wish nothing but the best in life. Thanks, Hop. [/QUOTE]
