Otis had a sweet jump shot. (You go that far back... excellent.)
Buck was a football player.

Albert's brother was one of the best.
Bernard was really special but all those injuries.

I go back far enough to have watched Bernard King as a rookie play for the Nets at the Rutgers Athletic Center. He had some substance/alcohol issues, so the Nets traded him to Utah for the infamous Rich Kelley (one of the worst centers in NBA history).

I still say Bernard King had the sweetest touch I ever saw.

I had a chance to see him late in his career. Was still smooth as silk.

He was a quality actor as well (what was the name of that movie he was in with Gabe Kaplan?).
