There are a couple videos on Ken that might be of interest to some....one was in the link I posted previously.  Missed it myself as I just read the article. 

This first video was made in an attempt to get Ken into the Basketball Hall of Fame. They succeeded.
FYI: It's 2.5 minutes long.

The second video (from the initial post) is more comprehensive (6 minutes).

This third video is a great story. (6.5 minutes)

The last video is a bit long...may watch another time. (26 minutes)
