RIP - Robert Reid

I'm behind on the news, just saw "Bobby Joe" Reid passed at 68.

Reid’s defensive prowess was enough to earn a mention in Bird’s 1989 book “Drive: The Story of My Life,” even if it was a bit of a backhanded compliment.

“I scored eight points in both games down there. All of a sudden, Robert Reid is this great defensive force,” Bird wrote. “Robert is a good defensive player, but he’s no Michael Cooper. I couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about. I couldn’t hit a shot, but otherwise, I thought I was playing good basketball.”
