Told this story before, but will tell it again, was working at a correctional facility during BB's 1st year, Jim Brown was coming in to promote his Amer-I-Can program, BB met him there. I opened the door for and walked BB in, never realized what this man was all about then. I was surprised at how small, humble and unassuming he was.
Jim Brown, gave an amazing speech to kids and parents, during the speech he said something to the effect that if Michael Jordan did 1/2 as much as BB did the world would be a much better place. High praise for BB, later I had my pix taken with Jim Brown ( my all time FB hero) and he signed a football for me. My regret is I did not do the same with BB, but little did I know then. Anyways it was probably the best nite I ever had at work..
