Whenever I think of the legacy of the Celtics sixth man, starting with John Havlicek, Red Auerbach had the perfect successor to McHale and Walton, in Len Bias.

Probably while practicing magic or memorizing the phone book backwards or something similar he did in his spare time, Lucas concluded that the best way for the round ball to go into the round hole was as vertically as possible. So he shot from low to get higher trajectory.
My basketball coach sophomore year took down the rim and showed us that you could fit two regulation basketballs in the hoop at the same time. Still blows my mind. I worked on the arc of my shot from that day forward.

Not a coach but a great salesperson….

Went to a sporting goods store with my Dad when I was maybe 8-9 when he was building me a new basket for the driveway. The associate sold us on the benefit of a double rim in that if I could master shooting outdoors on a double rim that it would make shooting in a game seem easy. He was 100% correct!
