It amazes me that I never saw him mentioned when the subject was 'Greatest Living Player'.
While only an average defender, he was, IMO, one of the top 20 players of ALL-TIME. What an offensive weapon he was!
When I turn 69 in three weeks, I'll still think of Rickey always being in perfect shape...65 was too young...and I admit to being shocked that he left so soon.
Life remains fragile. RIP Rickey.
