I guess Mark Shields never followed basketball, then. Now you've forced me to do a search. Voila. When Bill Bradley was a professional basketball player, he was known as "Dollar Bill," the forward whom the New York Knicks knew would make the big play when it counted most. www.capitolalert.com/voices/walters/walters.june15-99.html There are various versions as to how he acquired the nickname. You will find the one I gave (highest paid player in NBA) here: nba.com Then there is this one: More importantly, he had a certain integrity even then that set him apart from most other professional athletes. He didn't do endorsements. His teammates called him "Dollar Bill," in a supposed reference to the fact that he never seemed to spend any money. He was never flashy, never one to draw attention to himself. freep.com And so on. Not one reference cited the interpretation you gave.
