Red Auerbach wouldn't have liked all of the non-game activity, but I sure did. Rick Barry and Julius Erving were back in Boston, this time ensconced in a much friendlier environment.
The BIG3 folks that I spoke to prior to Friday's games were true to their word. Clyde Drexler and Brian Scalabrine both emphatically debunked the mistaken idea held by some that this was a league of old men involved in a casual pick-up game. These guys play hard, and they play to win.
