My Take

Jim Chones earns my respect on two counts. First, the player, a 6-foot-11 force who averaged 20.5 points and 11.9 rebounds as a junior at Marquette and made All-America in 1972, back when dominance in the paint was hard-won. Then the second act I find even more appealing, his move to the broadcast booth as a radio analyst for the Cleveland Cavaliers. There is something fitting about a man who once commanded the court now narrating it for a new generation. The nickname Bunny adds a likable warmth. To me he represents an athlete who found a graceful, lasting way to stay close to the game.
