Message: [QUOTE="huskiesouth, post: 3653782, member: 3310"] I caddied for Sidney Poitier at the Yale Golf Course in the Summer after he won the Academy Award. He is taller than you’d think, a good golfer and complete, down to earth genuine human being. Made me feel like his best friend for 4 hours. Biggest jerk by very far - Jim Brown. Sat behind him in Fenway Park in 6th game of 1967 World Series, he not only refused to sign autographs for several little kids, he went out of his way to be as nasty as possible. He was sitting with Gates Brown who was clearly embarrassed by Brown’s actions and not only signed for each kid he engaged them in friendly conversation Have many second-hand stories about various LA Lakers as my former brother-in-law was in their locker room for three decades but those are his to tell about some of the biggest stars in NBA history.
