Collins was well-liked by Philly fans for his playing time with the Sixers from 1973-1981, reaching three all-star games. However, Collins coached the Sixers from 2010-13, his final coaching gig.
Collins' comment about center Andrew Bynum -- "I hope we all keep him in prayer" -- really annoyed the fan base. Bynum never played a game for the Sixers.
