Why he might be annoying:

    He helped popularize the trend of players going from high school straight to the pros.
    He played for nine different pro teams.
    He is best known for his cocky and goofy prediction for a 1983 Philly playoffs sweep, 'fo, fo, fo.' (three rounds of four games each).
    He held the NBA career record for most turnovers.
    During his Hall of Fame induction, he told fellow inductee coaches, Mike Krzyzewski and John Chaney, 'If I would have played for you, you would have been here six years ago.'
    Undoubtedly, every team that had him wanted him to take them to the 'promised land.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was the last former ABA player remaining in the NBA.
    He helped lead the Sixers to the 1983 NBA title in his first season there, only losing one playoff game in the process.
    Philly coach Billy Cunningham said of him, 'the difference from last year was Moses.'
    He held the NBA record for most consecutive games without fouling out.
    He is the NBA's all-time leader in offensive rebounds.
    He led his high school team to 50 straight victories.
    He was selected one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History (1996).
    Contrary to popular belief, he is not related to Karl Malone.
