3 thoughts on “Montieth: Harkness was a long-shot artist in and out of basketball

  1. As a kid in the 70s, I remember watching him on Channel 13 reporting on sports and talking with my friends about how this national basketball star who lived in our hometown. I started playing basketball in the 4th grade and one day that year I went into work with my mom who worked in the same building as Mr. Harkness (while he was at the United Way). To my surprise, she was able to arrange a brief meeting with him. I will never forget how kind and gracious he was. He wanted to know all about my school team, gave me several pointers and encouraged me to work hard in basketball and life. He made a lasting impression on me for which I will always be grateful.
