Seems wrong that this is how he will leave the world.

He was right about the being the greatest thing though, even losing all that time in his prime with the Vietnam thing, simply amazing.
Parkinson's is a hell of a thing.

Growing up in the 50s and 60s he was an outcast - draft dodger. I'm glad we can forgive. I wish him the best. A great athlete.

He also didn't come up with the BS line, "I had better things to do." That was a recent vice president who said that.

I never really understood the notion of a sports "hero" per se, however, Ali is/was my single favorite athlete of all time. I truly loved watching him move. The way he worked his hands and those jabs...never seen anything like it before! He died on my birthday.
