Hated the Lakers because I am a Celtics fan but he was a good guy and great for the sport. He was a great owner who brought us some of the greatest teams to ever play. Rest in peace.
Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.
