Re: Rick Barry article on the struggles he overcame
he didn't just say watermelon smile. barry called russell "a fool with the watermelon smile." damn. that's mad disrespect. even wilt gave russell a lot of respect. the thing with barry was that he probably didn't even know he was being an assho!e. that's how he still is now, clueless on how he rubs people the wrong way. nobody wants to work with a guy like that. rick barry is just a d!ckhead.
