He came to my school when I was a kid one time I was like 8 or 9. So fukkin cool. I also liked him a lot on ESPN. Real cool dude. Rest in peace. One of the most graceful dunkers of all time.

As long as I have played fantasy football, my teams have always been named Lovetron Chocolate Thunder. One of the attorneys that I worked with back in NY ran the office league and got me the autobiography of Darryl Dawkins as a Christmas gift and it was an entertaining read. LOL I remember one of his stories when he was coaching (some lower level league), he went out to a local nightspot, and went into the restroom, and he heard the sound of smashing, and when he looked, one of his players was in one of the stalls knocking down some broad, and was like "ayo Coach, you want some of this? " and even the broad was willing to give it up, too, like "Coach, I'm real good", and Dawkins was like : "naw I'm good" lol
