You didn’t just succeed in every era of this business, you set the standard.

You made everyone better: fans, opponents, locker rooms just by showing up and doing it the right way.

Thank you for the matches, the example, and leaving this business better than you found it.… pic.twitter.com/VtHjZlcVwP
