I was never a Worthy fan growing up - he was a Laker and I cheered for the Celtics. My younger brother LOOOVED the Lakers. In 1996 I was invited by Fleer to go to Chicago and play a round of golf and meet a lot of athletes. At breakfast I met James and we hit it off. When we were warming up James and I kept talking. I was lucky enough to play my round with Nate”Tiny” Archibald (his 1st Time playing golf). After our round and before dinner I called my brother to check on things. James came walking up and asked for the phone and proceeded to rip my brother a new one for being a no good Celtics fan. He then hands me back the phone just smiling. From that point I became a fan of his.
