I remember as a 9th grader working for hours on taking a high rebound off the boards, twisting in air, and two-handing it past the halfcourt to start a fastbreak before coming down. I had seen Willis do it in a playoff game, to lead the Bullets to an upset win over a better team, and it captured my imagination. (can't remember now if it was against the Knicks or Celtics)RIP Willis Reed.

Was blessed to play ball into my 50s, and that rebound-pass move would always bring the youngbloods around to ask about it between games... and so I'd get to tell them about the great Willis Reed.
