I'm probably going to regret this but, congrats to Dickie V. When he's not spewing Duke/ACC bullshit out of his mouth he seems like a decent guy. He's given a lot to the game.

Dickey V is one of the "shtick" originators. You've got to listen to him for about 3 minutes before anything of value comes out of his mouth anymore because he's got to get as many of his own phrases as he can tossed out there. You can tell he's a hall of famer too because he hasn't had a new one in about 20 years.

That being said, he's done so much for the game of basketball he totally deserves it.

He's the logo of the NBA:

Its logo was designed in 1969 by Alan Siegel, the founder of the branding consultancy firm Siegel+Gale. The recognizable silhouette is modeled after Jerry West, a legendary Los Angeles Lakers player and Hall-of-Famer.
