Daly wasn't flashy, but he dressed the part. Another Piston player, funnyman John Salley, named him "Daddy Rich," for his snazzy suits. Daly's coiffed hair, and intense stare, will live long in the mind of the millions of fans who fell in love with the '80s NBA, an era of great players (Bird, Magic, Michael, Isaiah, Barkley) and even greater rivalries, most of which involved Daly's Pistons.

After importing the Zenmaster and his coaching staff from the Bulls as well as Ron Harper and the always humorous John Salley, the Lakers dominated the National Basketball Association this year.

Though the performance seemed shaky except for a cadenza-heightened, wonderfully careening climax, it was still convincing...
...chosen the piece to spotlight three student musicians: the division of labor, and the relative simplicity of the solo parts, would make it ideal for students. Indeed, it should have been possible to find a student pianist, cellist and violinist who were more than equal to the task--concertmaster Salley Koo '97, for example, who was outstanding in the Shostakovich symphpony...
