... and how many people, famous or not, have not died when they used small aircraft? Just saying.

You know I've mentioned this before in Late Nite numerous times. Not enough famous people read my posts apparently.

NBA legend Rubi. Basketball to you.

You can add Matthew Harding to the list.

I've heard of the harlem globetrotters and even seen their cartoon a few times. Otherwise, I've never got basketball I'm afraid, so never heard of him.
