Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 2593489, member: 6488"] Interesting that one of the first words that come to mind with Rick Barry is "obnoxious." I knew Rick when he played for Miami, and my dad and I traveled around with the team. Coach Bruce Hale was a family friend (Rick later married Bruce's daughter Pam, as sweet as Rick was sour). Even in those days young Barry was a first-class jerk, so full of himself that it's a miracle he never exploded into star dust. His arrogance was perhaps justified to the extent that he was a great player. Most remember his infallible underhand foul shot. Yet what sticks to this HOF guy is that he was not very nice as a person. [/QUOTE]
