My Take
Bonzi Wells is one of those NBA players I can never quite forget. A 6-foot-5 wing out of Muncie, Indiana, who came up through Ball State, he played with a fire that practically crackled off the court, especially during his Portland Trail Blazers years. He could score and defend, but his fierce, ref-baiting temperament made him just as memorable. I have a soft spot for that kind of unpolished, deeply human edge; the players who are not model citizens often leave the sharpest impression. That he turned to coaching afterward, passing his game on, makes the story even richer. Raw talent like his lingers.
