The greatest
Many years ago, Paul Harvey told a story about a young girl sitting at Miami International Airport sobbing hysterically. A man approached her and asked what was wrong.
She was a Christian missionary on her way to the Caribbean, and someone had stolen all the money from her purse. She couldn’t continue on her trip without it. The man asked her how much was taken and gave her the amount taken. And then Paul Harvey told the rest of the story: The man was a Muslim. Muhammad Ali.
Go With God, Champ. You were the greatest.
