I think the last thing I remember seeing about him was that he was supporting Trump. Is that right?
3: Last I checked the ongoing attempts by the city fathers to resurrect him have continued to fail.
3: And hasn't been for more than 30 years, if wiki is to be believed.
OP: Today I saw an old clip of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar taking an egregious elbow to the gut and then laying a mf out on the court with one solid punch to the jaw. Looked into the white guy's background and yep, Indiana player.
5: Not just any Indiana player, Kent Benson, one of Indiana basketball's biggest stars. The whole story is even better --
Two minutes into his very first game as a professional, Benson elbowed Los Angeles Lakers center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the abdomen, and Abdul-Jabbar broke Benson's jaw with a retaliatory punch.[14] Abdul-Jabbar broke his hand in the incident and was out for two months; otherwise, he could have potentially been suspended by the NBA.[15]

1: Former Indiana University basketball coach Bobby Knight's endorsement of Donald Trump on Wednesday was the perfect presidential nod this campaign season.
From April 2016
When he does go, this will beplayed on loop everywhere with no escaping:

He is awful.
I can't even begin to understand the person who knows about Bobby Knight and doesn't want to watch him die horribly. I find aliens who breathe hydrogen easier to understand.
9: My guess is that he is probably still widely revered at Indiana University. I know Woody Hayes is still widely revered in Columbus -- although not as much on people's mind as 30 years ago when I moved here.
I never liked Bobby Knight or Woody Hayes, but it probably had more to do with me living in Michigan and rooting for University of Michigan teams than any judgment on my part.
OP.2: That is a really abysmal put-down; the person it paints in the worst light is its speaker.
This is the problem with a blog that attracts a bunch of nerds/British. Bobby Knight is so hateable, that we should have 100 comment thread on how we hope the Devil doesn't wait until he dies and drags him home to Hell now. But we've let Ogged down.
Here's just the first Google hit for Bobby Knight sucks. Because he sucks.
