Thanks for sharing.


“As we walked off the floor, we’d take off our belts and wrap them around our fists with the buckles obvious to everyone,” Drucker told Neil D. Isaacs in the oral history “Vintage N.B.A.” (1996). “This was going to be our protection.”

That's one advantage to wearing a belt which I had never considered.

And you guys always make fun of me and my black belt. It's a jungle out there, I tell you, a jungle.
