I have a lot of respect for Paul Allen. He seems like a good NBA owner, the type who lets his GM and Coach call the shots, doesn't look for the limelight and doesn't go out of his way to pinch pennies.

I also feel like I have a bond with him as a life-long Jimi Hendrix fan (see my username). The amount work he's done to bring Hendrix's life work, as well as music in general, with the world really is special.
