To Darryl Dawkins,
When I was young, my father would tell me about this incredible basketball player who was so strong, he could take down the whole hoop if he wanted to. He was my dad’s favorite player. He told me this player had earned the nickname “Chocolate Thunder” because of how hard he would come down on the rim.
Philadelphia 76ers
My young mind started to envision this player as somewhat of a myth, not seeing video of the player, just going off of what I had pictured in my head.
