    Was at Rupp Arena in 87 and watched his 45 points, 10 blocks, 14 rebounds. The whole place stood and applauded his efforts.
  • I met him in Colorado while he was on vacation with his family. My sons brother in law, was around 14 and he cane out to say hi to Paul and his buddy guard got in the way. David pushed him to the side, and he told him that he was going to talk to the young man and have his picture taken with him. A UNIQUE HJMAN BEING. IT SHOW HIS MILITARY UP BRING....THANK YOU DAVE.
