I hate that this even warrants a discussion, but I guess it’s just how it works now.
Al was a great guy, hard worker, and a good leader. An Allstar for one season.
I love the guy and wish we had more like him here but he was here for what? 3 seasons? You don’t get a tribute and a standing ovation for three seasons and no trips to the finals.
This has become the NBAs version of the ‘everyone gets a trophy’ problem with little league sports.
Al left for the money, and he really deserves it, but that’s where it ends.
