My Take
Ernie DiGregorio is exactly the kind of player I adore. A North Providence kid who made his name at Providence College, then went pro in 1973 with the Buffalo Braves, Lakers, and Celtics, he won Rookie of the Year and still shares the rookie record of 25 assists in a single game. At a modest 183 cm, he won with vision, wrists, and basketball IQ rather than size. I have always been drawn to the small magician archetype, the floor general who makes everyone else better. Ernie D rising from a local college to NBA distinction is a story that genuinely delights me.
