WL: [Expletive] producers! They didn’t show you the 19 stone cold flushes I delivered. I even threw down on that Jheri Curl Business—hoity-toity pansy. They only put in the last one...the one I bricked.

 

GA: You had quite a career in the ABA. Quite a long career, that is.

 

WL: What’s that supposed to mean, Fatty?

 

GA: Wha…huh?

 

WL: I’ve seen your scouting report, Dough Boy. You think you’re some kind of fancy joke maker, don’t you? Well, not here, home slice. I remember we was playin’ the Carolina Cougars and Artis Gilmore went down. Who’d they ask to come in and bail their sorry a-double-dollar-signs out? They called on Wise.

 

GA: Really? I didn’t come across that in my research…

 

WL: Of course you didn’t, Mister Smarty Pants! I came in during the third quarter and had 39 points, 18 rebounds, 14 assists…and 14 blocks. That’s a quadruple-double. That’s some numbers.

WL: The League was scared of my skills.

 

GA: Well, back to our discussion of retirement. So you retired when the Colonels folded up in 1976…

 

WL: NO! I DID NOT RETIRE!

 

GA: Excuse me?

 

WL:
