the best NBA point guard of all time. lead the Detroit Pistons "bad boys" to 2 NBA championships back to back in 1989 and 1990. He was a dangerous shooter from any spot on the floor, a smart passer and a smooth, clever playmaker.

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
