The #12 BCAL is a very rare bird, especially in the NBA. Those old enough may remember Jim McIlvaine, the tall white guy who spent seven seasons with the Washington Bullets, Seattle SuperSonics and New Jersey Nets. Yes, he was/is a #12 who, all things considered, did well enough for himself to be remembered.
Recently, Kenyon Martin (#13 FCIR) of the Denver Nuggets joined Chris Broussard on the. In The Zone podcast and opened up about some brutal fights he has witnessed (or been in) during his time in the league, and one of those included, yes, Mr. McIlvaine. Only, it wasn’t Jim who started it, necessarily.
