Charlotte's PR apparently realizing they have nothing to put in the news dug back through their past...we're talking about a player who retired before September 11th and thought now is a good time to honor a former player.

To be fair though, the team has been overwhelmed with their regular and post-season success in recent decades, so the delayed recognition does make sense. Like the DQ you worked at in high school sending you an employee of the month certificate when your 2nd kid graduates from high school.

Mason was on the knicks team that went to the finals and was with them for their best years during their relevance and MJ's, Miller's, Thomas's East primes. He only passed away recently and is mostly remembered for his contributions with the Knicks though he did play for other teams.

@pdxfed right, I missunderstood your statement. I thought you mean LJ (him) and Mason on the same team in NY. But you meant from the same era. I agree... both were brolic AF.
Used to have LJs poster on my bedroom and had this issue of SLAM mag.
