Story
Good write-up, though kind of unfortunate how it's turned into another opportunity for Jordan bashing, admittedly more so in the comments than the article itself (which isn't surprising, Yahoo! NBA's articles never disappoint in delivering facepalming contributions from its denizens) but I suppose it's part of the story all the same. Surely, Pollin's life's work at large and the loss to his family and the franchise is the story here, not the fallout with Michael Jordan. In any case, he certainly stuck by his beliefs, the people who were loyal to him and was clearly dedicated and passionate about the team, which are admirable traits even if the success wasn't always there. Rest in peace.

RIP
I saw a short story about him on SportsCenter, he has done a lot of for basketball and the city of Washington itself. He will be sorely missed

Yeah,saw it in NBA.COM.
Like TomCat said,he has done a lot to the city and to the team.
Even though his Coaching signs and other stuff wasn't that good sometimes.
Rest in Peace.
