My Take
Austin Carr earns my respect less for his scoring and more for what came after the buzzer. A 193 cm guard out of Notre Dame, where he piled up national honors, he reached the NBA All-Rookie Team in 1972 and built a long pro career. But the detail I keep returning to is the 1980 J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, recognition for service off the court. That, plus his beloved second life as a Cleveland broadcaster and the nickname "Mr. Cavalier," tells me he became part of a city's fabric. I value players remembered for character as much as stats, and Carr clearly is.
