by Steve Luhm
Between 1980 and 1986, Adrian Dantley played 461 regular-season games with the Utah Jazz. He averaged a Jordan-esque 29.6 points, shot 56.2 percent from the field and established himself as one of the game's greatest low-post players, despite being only 6-foot-5.

Reflections Of A Father
by Tony Price -- Sep 3, 2008 - 9:53:00 PM

Of course, when he was alive Gene Upshaw was trashed for his inability to convince the current players (mostly black) to hand over a portion of their earnings to the retired players (mostly white) who built the game. There is no precedent for retired workers having their post-career benefits significantly improved … other than retired NFL players.
