Look at this pic from his playing days.  If you know anything about hoops from that time period, guys weren't usually built like that.

Love the old pics. Those old medicine balls, short shorts, and the idea of Blacks being able to play the game was laughable.  ;D

Watching ESPN right now, this is REALLY a tough loss. RIP.

In all of my welcome packets for new clients I always included a copy of his "Pyramid of Success".

In all fairness, he had kareem abdul jabaar and bill walton at center for almost a decade, how hard is it to win with those two guys?

If he was coaching today like he coached back in his day he probably have been sued or fired.

When great men from his generation pass on I mourn not only for him and his family, but for our country.
