This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The Dr. Once Came to W. 4th with Larry K & Wendall Ladner, by dillon77
Two guys -- the dr. and Mr. K -- with 'fros and jumping ability to the skies and the Burt Reynolds of the ABA, who protected those two day in, day out.
I had played that morning and went somewhere, but my friends who stayed said it was wild...within one hour, the place/block was jam-packed. I'm sure the Rucker gang came down and the Brooklyn guys came over. He said the Erving-Kenon-Ladner team didn't lose -- if any team came close, any one of the three would turn it on.
Ladner may have been paid to be an enforcer, but he could play before he died in that airline crash. Man, there's a name I never thought I'd type again....
