Kevin McHale said Chris used to complain about Bill Fitch more than anyone on the team. But he told Kevin to forget all of that complaining stuff when he became the coach.

RIP.

I haven't bought basketball cards in several, several years, but when I used to buy packs of cards in the early 90's, I would always end up with a Chris Ford Coach card and I remember being so disappointed when you would end up with coaches in the pack. Not sure if they still do that shit, but this was pre-insert days. So yeah, I have a ton of Chris Ford cards.
