I loved Bill Hanzlik! When he played with the Nuggets - team of my childhood, to be clear - Kareem just did what he wanted with defenders in the post and all around the key. Along comes Hanzlik, backup small forward who weighed as much as a wed wad of tissues, and offered to guard the great man. Bill didn't slow him down by much, but pestered and irritated the heck out of him.
Haha! Brad Hanzlik ruled my world as did the Doug Mo Nuggets back in the 80's.
He was everything you said. Had almost no offensive talent. On a team that was
VERY OFFENSIVE! Loved that he had the gut's to defensively pester the big guys.
He actually got into a fight with Ralph Sampson! LOL! That's not a joke either.
I think there was a clip of it on You Tube. Not sure if it's still up. Can't forget about
T.R. Dunn either. Couldn't shoot to save his life, but man could he play D and rebound
like nobody's business. Loved those guy's.
