Good basketball player. Even better businessman. I haven't been able to get into the NBA for many years, but the Don Nelson Bucks teams, when Bridgeman played alongside Lanier, Marques Johnson, Sir Sid, were a lot of fun.

Junior was a member of the East Chicago Washington HS state champs in 1971. Went 29-0. Many consider that team one of the greatest HS teams ever to come out of Indiana. He is an Indiana HS basketball legend in The Region (NW Indiana). RIP.
