Rest in peace Mr. Ogg.
So was he like the first Malik Allen?

For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

you are the only fan who ever favored Malik
he led the long line of goofy 7 footers on the bench, like Vladi Stepania, Manute Bol, Brad Louhaus and Wang...

No Duane Causwell, Lane?
Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.

Damn he died of a staph infection. RIP.
And we have to have the all time lead in obscure NBA players.

it's crazy how many sicknesses are going around now, or maybe it's just being reported more than it was in years past.

RIP Oggy.
I always enjoyed watching you play. No one played harder.
I once argued on my bus in middle school that you were better than Michael Jordan. What I meant was, a better person of course
It saddens me that your family lost you at such a young age. But hopefully you and Alec Kessler are having some mean one-on-one duels in heaven, just like the old days.

Unfortunately Alan Ogg has no youtube highlights except this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iVwUccGfvs
I guess we can say he never gave up on a play no matter how outmatched.
