...according to Magic Johnson.

Ron was a slender but wiry, muscular 6'8" forward with a similar playing style to Dennis Rodman.

Jud used a joke that his shooting range was "Dunk and in."

No one has approached his—.639 shooting accuracy career mark. In a 59-58 win over Michigan in Crisler Arena, Charles set a single-game record with 12-for-12 shooting, one basket better than his 11-for-12 work that season against Central Michigan.

But he was a better person than a basketball player and never had anything bad to say about anyone, according to those who knew him.
