A great and generous man...he wanted the best for the Wizards, even though they haven't performed recently...bandl wrote:Breaking news, no link yet

He paid for the new arena (Verizon Center) and is known with his numerous donations to worthy causes...affordable housing in DC was his current cause...
RIP Mr. Pollin

Very sad news, he was always seemed to really care about the Bullets/Wizards, going down to Richmond every year from training camp, taking the time to talk to each of the guys, sad stuff 
With some of the changes Saunders has been making this year, I wondered if a return to the Bullets was inevitable. Now, I don't know, but at least they won tonight for him.
