Watching this nearly brought me to tears. I'm the same age as Kat and was a huge Grizzlies fan as a kid too.
I remember my elementary school teacher knew Big Country and he came to our school one day, just out of his own time not a team event or anything, and talked and hung out with us. Nicest coolest guy irl.
He took a lot of hate from an unknowledgeable fanbase here, and it's so good to see he holds no ill will towards Vancouver whatsoever.
Hope he comes back to visit some day and gets the proper recognition he deserves. I mean other than Arvaydas Sabonis, I don't think there was ever a 7 footer with softer hands than BC.
