Posted May 17, 2020
Clarence Gaines Jr. doesn’t show off his six NBA championship rings often, but when he does, all he can do is smile at the memories. Gaines, son of the legendary Clarence “Big House” Gaines, was a scout for the Chicago Bulls during one of the best runs in the history of the league in the 1990s. Memories of those Michael Jordan-led teams have come flooding back. (Winston-Salem Journal)
