This isn't basketball related, but good person related. Heard many stories of him blessing others when he's out and about in public, like picking up tabs at restaurants and paying in forward kind of stuff. That's just generous behavior

Rick is just an easy person to talk with. He maintains eye contact the entire time which is lost in today's society. I ALWAYS feel like Rick is being completely real and honest when talking to him. Not to mention...incredible sense of humor (he's not beyond joking with you about hair, or lack of, etc etc etc... )
