Billy is wonderful and he has the rare gift of being close friends with TWO GOATs...Kareem and the man who was the GOAT of all in ANY sport, the late, GREAT Muhammad Ali. Billy has lead a charmed life when it comes to friends. And he seems like a great guy as well.

Walking through LAX one day Kareem was walking slowly with a TCBY spooning some to his mouth as he walked. I strode along side a bit, told the person on the phone with me. They said I should get his autograph. I just let the man eat his yogurt in peace. It was cool to be side by side with him for that moment.

Notice anyone who has gotten to know Kareem intimately never has anything negative to say about him. Same with Lebron. Always a stand up person. Worst thing anyone can say about those two is they switched teams/employers. Some of the other NBA 'GOAT's, you cannot say that about.
