Everyone liked watching him in his native Philadelphia, a town that takes its basketball seriousy. Dixon was a two-time All-Metro selection and he led the Crimson in a pre-season exhibition with 12 points against Canadian Athletes in Action.

It makes Still's Met exhibition one of the outstanding events in art since...
