He reminded me of the German soldier that Tom Hanks let go in Private Ryan and he eventually came back to kill Tom. :-( Mr. Roberts really had a 1940s Aryan soldier look for whatever reason. I know he wasn't one and he probably wasn't even any part German, but I'm just sayin, Gracie. Every time I rewatch this, I flashback to that character in Saving Private Ryan. I liked Fred for what it was worth. He was only with the Lakers in 96, but his teammates liked him as well. Good dude, underrated player, good passer, savvy decision-maker. Old school guy, I remember him with the Bucks in the early 90s as well. I like to think Kobe changed his number to 24 in HONOR of Fred, personally.
