Gerald Henderson

You know what's really interesting is I saw a post, one of my favorite pages on Instagram, which was, I think it's called like average basketball players and they just like celebrate role players.

And they did a post about Gerald Henderson Sr., a former Boston Celtic.

And in the 1980 NBA season, Gerald Henderson Sr. played with a neck brace on.

He had a broken neck, okay? This post was written on the day, by the way, that there were 93 players on the NBA's injury list, right? He wore a neck brace to play a basketball game to protect his broken jaw.

It wasn't a broken neck, it was a broken jaw.

But sometimes it happens.

I remember Gerald Henderson got traded and Red Auerbach said Gerald Henderson wasn't in shape.

That was the furthest thing from the truth.

If you want to trade the guy, you trade him.

inbound pass to you, you take a couple of dribbles, you try to throw it cross court to me.

Gerald Henderson steps in, steals it, gets the

layup.

We end up losing the game, I think in overtime.

The worst pass you could throw in any sport, cross court.

And as soon as I let the ball go, Everything just went slow motion.

Because I could see Gerald Henderson out of the corner of my eye coming.

He intercepted that ball.
