[Convicted One]

I lived in Los Angeles during the Lakers dynasty, and still managed to not get all swept up in the excitement.  So by the same token his passing does not leave me particularly grief stricken. I'm sorry that his family is suffering this hardship, to be sure.

But celebrity "hero worship" is largely lost on me.
