    Who would have thought a blind man gave a basketball star his nickname?
    I had heard that story a few years ago and had same thought. That is why I would remember it.

    Daryl Dawkins himself said it was crazy that Stevie Wonder came up with the name since he had never seen him play.

    Who can forget Dawkins squaring off against Maurice Lucas in that iconic '77 finals - Mo going with the John L. Sullivan pose. I'm pretty sure that led to his "enforcer" monicker and that great pose in the NBA SI preseason issue for the '77-'78 season - wearing denim from head to toe IIRC.

    '77 a great year for MU - past and present players.
